Poetry Quote by أحمد بخيت — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“أغارُ عليكَ”

“But first and foremost, I learned from Whitman that the poem is a temple—or a green field—a place to enter, and in which to feel. Only in a secondary way is it an intellectual thing—an artifact, a moment of seemly and robust wordiness—wonderful as that part of it is. I learned that the poem was made not just to exist, but to speak—to be company.”

“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”

“Time held me green and dying”

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”

“Let Him easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us, be a crimson-cresseted east.”

“Darling,”
