“Trust in that veiled hand, which leads
None by the path that he would go;
And always be for change prepared,
For the world’s law is ebb and flow.

"O wave! Plunge headlong into the dark seas,
And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."

Amina - Yes, I thought so too. I’m glad you dropped by. Thank you.
Beautiful—I love the idea of “ebb and flow”.
I’d also really love to read that in the original Arabic—one day perhaps
Baekho - Hey, good luck finding it first! I tried to find the original source but nothing. Lucky i read this book in which it was quoted!
