Palestine 's legendary national poet and author Mahmoud Darwish reading his poem Tabiq -A homage to Edward Said.Edward , the equally legendary Palestinian writer and academic of the 20th century , was Mahmoud's close friend.He died of Leaukemia in 2003.Darwish elegies his old friend's life , cultural freedom fighting and their similar identity as the Palestinian emigres in his poem ' Tibaq'.
I am from there
I am from here
But I am neither there nor here
I have different names which meet and part
I have different languages and 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 Jurusalem converse with a silver cadence
But it does not yield to my imagination
Let's continue with our Prayer and Demanding for Free Palestine until last day of our breath ❤️🇦🇪
