There’s nothing better than buying a book second hand and coming across a note on the inside cover that somebody has written. It’s like finding a little piece of someone’s history.

I Want to Write Different Words for You

  I want to write different words for you To invent a language for you alone To fit the size of your body And the size of my love.

                     I want to travel away from the dictionary And to leave my lips. I am tired of my mouth I want a different one That can change Into a cherry tree or a matchbox, A mouth from which words can emerge Like nymphs from the sea, Like white chicks jumping from the magician’s hat.

                      Take all the books That I read in my childhood, Take all my school notebooks, Take the chalk, The pens, And the blackboards, But teach me a new word To hang like an earring On my lover’s ear.

                     I want new fingers To write in another way, High like masts of ships, Long like a giraffe’s neck So I can tailor for my beloved A garment of poetry.

                      I want to make you a unique library In it I want The rhythm of the rain, The dust of the moon, The sadness of the grey clouds, The pain of the fallen willow leaves Under the wheels of autumn

    Nizar Qabbani

    Translation from the Arabic by Bassam K. Frangieh and Clementina R. Brown

Every path is the right path. Everything could've been anything else. And it would have just as much meaning.
