"Myself, I do not know so that I shall not lose it.
I am what I am.
I am from there, I am from here,
but I am neither there nor here.
I have two names which meet and part...
I have two languages, but I have long forgotten which is the language of my dreams.
I have an English language, for writing, with yielding phrases,
and a language in which Heaven and Jerusalem converse, with a silver cadence,
but it does not yield to my imagination." Mahmoud Darwish
