فهل فينا شيء يعمل بمعزل عنا؟! شيء بصره حديد، يرى لحظة ما نرى، غير أنه يرى لنا ما لا نراه، وعندما تكون الساعة ساعة خاطر وتذكُّر يلوح لنا بما رآه..
Is there something in us that works apart from us? Something sharp-sighted, that sees the moment we see, yet sees for us what we don't see—and when the hour is one of reverie and remembrance, shows us what it saw.
From the novel Menorahs and Minarets · Chapter 13
