Hala Al Romhein

هالا الرمحين


English

“Syria is in our hearts

We grew up there

We were well-mannered

We had good education

Younger, we studied the literature of the diaspora that didn’t interest me so much at the time

Twenty years spent away from the country, I now understand why a stranger becomes a poet

In Syria we were born and in Syria we hope to die.”
