Iranian Philosophy Famous Quotes & Sayings
1 Iranian Philosophy Famous Sayings, Quotes and Quotation.
And I saw it didn't matter— Dorianne Laux
who had loved me or who I loved. I was alone.
The black oily asphalt, the slick beauty
of the Iranian attendant, the thickening
clouds
nothing was mine. And I understood
finally, after a semester of philosophy,
a thousand books of poetry, after death
and childbirth and the startled cries of men
who called out my name as they entered me,
I finally believed I was alone, felt it
in my actual, visceral heart, heard it echo
like a thin bell.
