Digression

My dear,

I am intrigued by your command of Arabic and on Tuesday (Aththalathaa) found a course that promises to teach me in three hours.

I am to associate with images, and shall apply myself: "MOUTH is FUMM, in Arabic" (I imagine your thumb in my mouth).

From the poem "In Arabic" by Agha Shahid: This much fuss about a language I don't know? So one day / Perfume from a dress may let you digress in Arabic?

I pray that one day perfume from my dress may lead you to digress, in Arabic.

Tempted to sign with a smiley WAJH,
Mary
