Mahmoud Darwish, from Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (tr. Ibrahim Muhawi)

For context: this is written within a work regarding the siege of Beirut in 1982. “Memory for Forgetfulness is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)?” (x)

Sophokles, from Elektra; translated by Anne Carson in An Oresteia

Text ID: ELEKTRA: You have town away the part of my mind where hope was—

“Mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust, / bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy. / Sometimes, the men – they come with keys, / and sometimes, the men – they come with hammers.”

— Warsan Shire, from “The House,” Her Blue Body

“when you fall in love- you fall into an ocean. it is vast, it is deep, it is powerful. so, swim a little.”

— swim a little. |(morsus engel)|
