Ibn Ibn Al-Fāriḍ
Arab Poet
"In symbols there is a meaning that words cannot define."
"The repose of love is a weariness; its onset a sickness; its end, death. For me, however, death through love is life; I give thanks to my Beloved that she has held it out to me. Whoever does not die of his love is unable to live by it."
