Forough Farrohzah (1935-1967), Iranian feminist poet and film director.
I speak out of the deep of night
out of the deep of darkness
and out of the deep of night I speak.If you come to my house, friend
bring me a lamp and a window I can look through
at the crowd in the happy alley.–Forough Farrokhzad
