Leaves in the Wind

by Adonis

"...And you pause at verses about which you would like to question the poet, or question yourself, and you shake your head in reproof. This beautiful obscurity must not be explained — and it may not be capable of explanation. It is poetry.

We are all 'Adonis': an obscure phrase? I count it poetry."

Said Takieddine

•

"...Adonis has achieved thus far in Arabic poetry what only the few before him have achieved. He possesses an intellectual personality with which only the great poets are marked."

Khuzama Sabri

•

"...As for Adonis, he is a rich mine of poetic powers, and he will be one of the deepest and greatest voices ever raised in the whole history of Arabic poetry."

Badr Shakir al-Sayyab

•

"...He is the vanguard of his generation, beyond dispute."

Youssef al-Khal
