"الغياب هو منزل شاسع لدرجة أنك داخله ستمر عبر جدرانه وتعلق اللوحات في الهواء"
— Pablo Neruda
Simplified Meaning:
When someone or something important is missing from your life, it can feel like being in a huge, empty house. This empty feeling is so big that it becomes a part of you. Imagine walking through the rooms in this house – everywhere you look, you see reminders of what’s missing. Just like hanging pictures on an empty wall, you try to fill the space with memories and thoughts of the absent person or thing. This way, even though they are not physically there, their presence is still felt in your life. For example, when a loved one moves away, you might keep thinking about them, looking at old photos, or remembering the times you spent together to feel connected to them despite the distance.
