“You ask: What is the meaning of refugee? They will say: One who is uprooted from his homeland. You ask: What is the meaning of homeland? They will say: The house, the mulberry tree, the chicken coop, the beehive, the smell of bread, and the first sky. You ask: Can a word of eight letters be big enough for all of these, yet too small for us?”
— Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence (via palestinasim)

He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.
