“I'll make my declaration:
in my unsullied hands
there's no lust to clench my fists or strike out
I'm not going to get roaring drunk
I don't think it's glorious to kill people
I wasn't raised at the table
of male supremacy"
- Birthplace, Tahereh Saffarzadeh
I wish I were like the fall..I wish I were like the fall
I wish I were like the fall, silent, with no desires at all
My wishes' leaves would one by one turn sallow-gold
My eyes' sun would grow cold
The heaven of my breast would fill with pain
& suddenly a storm of grief would seize my heart
Like rain my tears would start
& stain my dress
Oh..how lovely then, if I were like the fall
Feral & bitter with colours seeping into one another, so beautiful
"Some days are like a placid horse; some rear
And buck and plunge, this way and that they veer;
As Fate has always been, so it will be -
Time is our friend, and then our enemy,
It's day, then night, its revolutions bring
December's snows to us, and then the spring."
- Parvin Etesami
"The roses have all gone; "Goodbye," we say, we must;
And I shall leave the busy world one day; I must.
My little room, my books, my love, my sips of wine,
All these are dear to me, they'll pass away, they must."
- Jahan Malek Khatun
