“Lights"
Lights of churches, monasteries,
Christmas trees, and magnificent mosques
The dim lights inside warm houses
in all the foreign cities where I wandered alone
The far away lights of cars driving over bridges
I watched from the windows of boring hotels
on clear moonlit nights
Candle lights and lanterns
Lights of little shops in ancient and forgotten alleys
Lights of ships sailing to places I will never get to see
The lamp post lights on dark rainy winter nights
The remote lighthouses and lights of unknown fishermen
The glittering lights I have seen in the eyes of kind strangers
in cities tourists never go to
All these lights I once loved that break me now
as they remind me of the magical light
that was extinguished in your eyes …
[Original poem published in Arabic on November 13, 2024 at ahewar.org]”
“Lights”
Lights of churches, monasteries, Christmas trees, and magnificent mosques.
The dim lights inside warm houses in every foreign city where I wandered alone.
The far-away headlights of cars crossing bridges, watched from the windows of dreary hotels on clear, moonlit nights.
Candlelight and lanterns, the lights of small shops in ancient, forgotten alleys, the lights of ships sailing to places I will never see, lamp-post lights on dark, rainy winter nights, solitary lighthouses and the lights of unknown fishermen, the glittering lights I saw in the eyes of kind strangers in cities tourists never visit.
All these lights I once loved now break me; they remind me of the magical light that was extinguished in your eyes…”

“Lights went on in the cottage, lending it an undeniably warm glow. He smiled, amused as he recalled his Snow White references where Leilani was concerned. "Of course she lives in a cottage," he murmured. "All she needs now are the dwarves."

“Lihansyömistä ei voida puolustaa kulinaarisilla eikä terveydellisillä syillä, koska lihansyönnistä pidättäytymisen haitta ei ole verrannollinen lihantuotannosta eläimille aiheutettuun haittaan. Kenelläkään ei ole oikeutta syödä toista hyvin tai maun vuoksi. Myöskään tottumus tai tavat eivät oikeuta lihansyöntiä. Siitä, että olemme tottuneet tekemään jotakin, ei voida johtaa moraalista oikeutta tekoon.”

Teve D. João V em seu reinado
A sorte de desenvolver o País

O pouco que fez, não desejado,
Não o impediu de se mostrar feliz!...

Dos piores que me fere dizer!”
