The only virtue of marriage lies in that it deepens our profound feeling of the need for love, so whoever searches for love and marriage together is like someone searching for the phoenix and the ghoul in a chicken coop, and the saddest of all is the one who seeks friendship in marriage, yet I can only sympathize with those who committed to marriage so they wouldn't die alone, until death comes to one of them and they discover they lived life alone ... alone with the other. I understand the reasons for the success of marital relationships among most politicians, for they excel at the game of deception with the opponent, but the marriage of poets puzzles me because it is the suicide of wonder, the transformation of wild narcissus into a bulb, surrender me, and I resemble a free bird that dizzyingly entangled the skilled nets only to be brought down by a blind shepherd with a reckless stone. The courage of free men to marry is only rivaled by the sorrow of the falconry, while others’ matter is like a rabbit feast; the more they are hunted, the longer their ears grow, and yet no one can deny that they are happy ... happy as cats in the Bab Jabiya market. Oh, the quince of the rotten time!
