A rare picture of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish and his Israeli lover Rita, about whom he wrote:

“I love you despite the nose of my tribe, my city and the chains of customs. But I'm afraid if I sell everyone, you will sell me and I'll return with disappointments.”

When it was discovered that she was working for the Israeli Mossad intelligence, he said:

“I felt like my homeland was occupied again.”

It’s like autumn arriving. You expect nothing from its arrival. You expect everything.
