Adam rubs his old rust with the blade of a knife. He scratches the space with tremendous instinctive force. After a period of time has passed since the absence of a second person, the open space has become grayer, and different from what Adam imagined. Here he walks alone, but the old noise still haunts him. A mythical being lives under his skin, making him rub his hands and rub them. His eyelids, he wants to see the light hitting the body of the night with the blade of the knife, and the knife does not seem bold when faced with the thickness of the bohemian bellows that strikes it.
Adam declares, the wires extending from under the neck to the edge of the shoulder are swollen, his face appears congested with blood and the red color invades his place. Adam is now thinking about the crow that hovers around his head, crowing with a sound like the horn of an old freight vehicle. He had previously been told that seeing a crow in the belly of the sky is an omen. It was ominous, so his senses trembled and he turned to the notebooks of the past, and questions abounded in his head.
.. اعتنى الكثير من المؤرخين بترجمة سيرة الصحابي الجليل «أبو بكر الصديق» فلم يعد هناك الكثير مما يقال عنها، وقد أدرك العقاد هذا الأمر فجاء كتابه عن الصديق مختلفًا؛ فقدم دراسة نفسية تحليلية لشخصية الصديق ليتعرف على صفاته وسماته الشخصية ويستنبط بواعث سلوكه، فيسوق العقاد الأخبار والحوادث التاريخية لا ليعرضها هي نفسها بل ليضع يده على مفاتيح شخصية الخليفة الأول من خلال تعاطيه مع الأحداث وتعامله مع الناس. كما يقترب من بيئته وحياته قبل الإسلام وبعده وظروف إسلامه، ثم يعقد المقارنة بينه وبين «عمر بن الخطاب» ليظهر الفروقات بين شخصياتهما وطباعهما، كما يقدم جوانب من إدارته لشئون الخلافة في الدولة الإسلامية الوليدة وكيف تصرف تجاه الأزمات التي كادت أن تعصف بها.
It is no longer necessary to stop at the picture written by Cervantes. There is a big difference between Don Quixote, which was written to make fun of him, or for any other purpose, and Don Quixote, which became our property, and we carried it in our imagination, subjected it to our perceptions, and we became free to remake and formulate it as we wish.
We can say that each of us has his own Don Quixote, whether he has read the novel or not, and whether he relies on the picture in the book or not. Whether he relied on his own interpretation of what was in the book, or projected into the book what he wanted.
The many faces of a character like Don Quixote give us the freedom and courage to express our own vision of him. Therefore, each of us is able to talk about the Don Quixote that he saw in the book, or the Don Quixote that he himself is raising in his symbolic and creative imagination.
Don Quixote is everywhere, and he is present in all of us. The Donquixote vision is one that does not give its owner the opportunity to retreat. There must be a pause that seems suicidal or crazy. Retreating in search of a new opportunity means overlooking the collapse that has occurred to humans and values. It means as if one overlooks deterioration. It is a kind of self-punishment to revive the consciences of others.
We can say in general that there must always be a Don Quixote pause so that honor does not die in life itself.
For this reason, it occurred to me one day to defend insanity.
