—On the loss of youth—
⌛
My sorrow and grief are unending
when I recall youth that won't return.
Youth is ruined, its fire stolen
by fate's caprices and the days' deceit.
This world leads us on; I didn't requite
youth its splendor and then it was gone.
— Manṣūr al-Namarī

‘Mbembe has been accused of writing at a “frustrating level of abstraction” and performing “language acrobatics”. But those who stay the course are rewarded.’
