of the sweet word and the fine
craftsmanship, fragrant with the breath of goodness, truth, and beauty — a lady whose peers among the cultivated women of the age it is hard to find.
Al-Telegraph said:
Salma Sayegh was known as one of the leaders of the women's renaissance, and of the literary renaissance above all. She was distinguished by that easy, limpid prose which carries the truest and noblest human feeling to its readers, strangers and countrymen alike; so that in her speeches, her lectures, the talk of her salons, and her articles, she carried within them poetry in prose, from the delicacy of her feeling, and a white revolution, from the intensity of her compassion and her faith in right and truth, and her call to brotherhood, cooperation, and equality!
And what appeared in al-Amal:
The sweetest of the “Breezes” that ever blew across the desert of letters, refreshing every soul they passed over, vanished yesterday with Salma Sayegh; and a face has gone whose pure features sum up that splendid, unknown history which is lived anew each day:
the struggle of the Lebanese woman — as mother, as citizen, and as creator.
Among that excellent generation of women writers who rose out of Lebanon from the first years of the century and “scattered over the world the fragrance of their perfumes,” Salma Sayegh was the creative writer in whose literature one feels the generous, open-handed womanliness, whatever she spoke of.
And what appeared in al-Jumhur:
Salma Sayegh has not died, and she will not die. She is the singular woman of letters whose going leaves a void that the people of the pen will remember whenever they long for one of her breezes; that women's gatherings will remember whenever they feel the need of
the activity of winged spirits; and that the struggling genius of womanhood will remember whenever the affairs of the Lebanese woman stumble on the ascending paths of her progress, her success, and her flourishing.
O Salma — breeze of immortality, breath of perfume, smile of the forenoon: sleep in peace, for you have paid your full share to literature, to goodness, to beauty, and to creation.
