I am deeply saddened beyond belief for the loss of a great man whom I have always sensed the pride of his presence, and the high morals of his character, and the sense of dignity of his entire being; a man that depicted with his expressions and words a picture of not only a great poet, but also a close family and one’s own as if you were talking to yourself from an outside world. Once in 1978 once, I attended one of his great poetry evenings in Kuwait. Since then and even before, he etched an image of dignity, pride, glory, and a great prestige in my memory, my mind, and in my heart. May God rest our late great beloved poet’s soul to heaven. Enna lellaah wa enna elayhe raaje3oon.

My press, Three Continents (Wash DC) published Ben Bennani’s translation of “Psalms” in 1994. I read “Psalm Eight” today:

“Palestine . . .

You spread onto my body like sweat
You spread into my body like desire
You take over my memory like an invader
And occupy my brain like light.
Die, that I may mourn you
Or be my wife that I may know betrayal
Once and for all.”

There is nothing happy for the world about his passing, except that he is is freed from his longing.
