“I shall grasp the soul's skirt with my hand
and stamp on the world's head with my foot.”
Attar of Nishapur (1145–1230) Persian Sufi poet
As quoted in Music of a Distant Drum: Classical Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Hebrew Poems (2001) by Bernard Lewis, p. 119
Context: I shall grasp the soul's skirt with my hand
and stamp on the world's head with my foot.
I shall trample Matter and Space with my horse,
beyond all Being I shall utter a great shout,
and in that moment when I shall be alone with Him,
I shall whisper secrets to all mankind.
Since I have neither sign nor name
I shall speak only of things unnamed and without sign.
Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer
Song lyrics, The Kick Inside (1978)
