Mourning the Loss of Mahmoud Darwish
August 10, 2008 | 6:40 amWe have been blessed to live in the same time as the great poet Mahmoud Darwish. We have been lucky to see him express our concerns and convey our message to the world. But alas, he is a mortal, and yesterday he departed us and left us in this cold world of ours.
We have lost a great poet, a great Palestinian, a great Arab, a great human being.
We might have lost the poet, but his work is eternal. Poetry is immortal.
Rest in peace Mahmoud Darwish. May God bless your soul.
Note: The following pages have nice brief accounts for his life. In English here, In Arabic here and here.
