I came to poetry through the urgent need to denounce injustice, exploitation, humiliation. I know that's not enough to change the world. But to remain silent would have been a kind of intolerable complicity.

  • -- Tahar Ben Jelloun 塔哈尔·本·杰伦

我从事诗歌创作,是因为迫切需要谴责不公、剥削和羞辱。我知道这不足以改变世界。但是保持沉默将是一种无法容忍的共谋。
