Eyes: Inspring Source
A prominent Afghan poet Sayyid Zakaria Rahel gazes at a female eye on a billboard. In Farsi poetry, eyes are the most notable source of inspiration for poets. I translated part of his poem called “human” on his blog.
Passing each other with a smile on our lips and a wall in between:
Hello!
Passing each other with a smile on our lips and a mountain in between:
Goodbye!
Human is internally bordered within himelf with,
mysterious mountain-like:
filled with thousand half hidden,
silent volcano:
full of internal flames”
