NIE

Assalamualaikum....

Life at NIE has been dull and mundane thus far. I do receive some education in each class, albeit at a very small degree. It is only my literature class that I really look forward to.

I love my literature lecturer and having taught literature and now, studying it again, i feel like i'm falling in love with the subject all over again. Literature is like my first love which I can never forget. It has always been there in my heart and now, upon close contact with it once again, i feel like my love for it has rekindled.

I now look at poems in a different light especially after reading some sayings of the Prophet pertaining to poetry.


"God hath treasures beneath the Throne, the keys whereof are the tongues of poets."

"Some poetry is dressed in knowledge and art."

Now, I'm in awe at every poem. Poetry is the only form of writing which strings words economically. What a genius poets are.

Too bad I am nowhere near them.
