01 / Moment

In Unaizah, the shade is built before the wall, and the courtyard learns its silence from its people.

Stone from its earth, and a palm that knows its name. We did not come to add a thing · we came to listen.

Quote

“And the day I entered the howdah · the howdah of Unaizah · she cried: woe upon you, you will make me walk!”
· Imruʾ al-Qays · The Muʿallaqa
