Adonis (Ali Ahmad Sa’id) & Anna Anuradhá Varney-Wong

The illusive mirage is ours

and the blind days.

And ours is the corpse of the guide,

we, the generation of the Ark,

the offspring of this little Time.

The peaceful seas,

the seas that chant

the elegies of wandering,

have handed us to the wilderness.
We, the generation of the endless dialogue

between our ruins and the Lord.
