“Success is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved”

“An Evening AirI go out in the grey eveningIn the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.I go out into the hard loneliness of the barren field of grey eveningIn the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.In the gathering darkness a long, swift train suddenly Passes me like a lighting.Hard and ponderous and loud are the wheels.As ponderous as the darkness, and as beautiful.I look on, enchanted, and listen to the sounds of lamentationIn the soft fragrant air.The long rails, grey-dark, smooth as a serpent, shiver, andA soft, low thing cries out in the distance,But the sounds are hard and heavy,In the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.”

“For I must wanderOn the deep sea bedShowering pearls on dead menGathering shellsAnd sweeping the shadows of passing boatsWith my falling hairAcross the sliding sands into the mouth of hell”

“إن كان لايزال في عينك دمع فأرجوك أن تبكي علي حالي”
