Nia-Oum
و نعود واحة فيها يورد هواه
فيها أشجار فسكات و ميراد يجبر
نرقص وياه كيف الشمس و القمر
و عند الفجر نقول له أنت اللي تبقي
Would become an oasis in the midst of this desire
He will find the spring trees and a beautiful rose garden
We will dance together like the sun and the moon
And at dawn, I will tell him "It's you my beloved"

What Is Patriotism?
by Emma Goldman
1908
San Francisco, California
Men and Women:
What is patriotism? Is it love of one's birthplace, the place of childhood's recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations? Is it the place where, in childlike naivete, we would watch the passing clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not float so swiftly?
