"Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone"

(Eliot)

"بنشین تا آنچه از مجهول میدانستیم

میانِ من و تو بنشیند مجهول"
رویایی

***
its translation should read something along these lines:

"Sit, so that which we knew from the unkown
Sits between me and you, unknown"

“Man, listen!
In you, water, fire
and then ashes

And the bones in the ashes
The bones and the ashes!

...

We must go back to where we were,
to the point where you took the wrong turn

What kind of world is this,
if a madman tells you
you must be ashamed of yourselves!"
- Andrei Tarkovsky, Nostalghia

"Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride.""
