"He carries in his eyes
a pearl; from the ends of days
and from the winds he takes
a spark; and from his hand,
from the islands of rain
a mountain, and creates dawn.
I know him—he carries in his eyes
the prophecy of the seas.
He named me history and the poem
that purifies a place.
I know him—he named me flood.”
― Adonis: Selected Poems
