Though silent for a time, the voice of the Quiet American was not lost. We writers have returned from many adventures and entreat our gentle readers to pardon our reticence.
For our grand re-opening, in the spirit of encouraging good taste and romantic notions, we offer a short well-known poem by Nizar Qabbani, in the original Arabic and in translation:
لان حبي لك فوق مستوى الكلام
قررت ان اسكت
و السلام
Because my love for you
Is higher than words
I have decided
To fall silent.
