    I'm reading this book very slowly but with each chapter, the book fails to disappoint me. Right now, I'm reading a chapter called "I'm a Tree" and decided to pick a few sentences which grabbed me to include in my comment:

    " "My request is that you look at me and ask: "Were you perhaps meant to provide shade for Majnun disguided as a shepherd as he visited Leyla in her tent? or "Were you meant to fade into the night, represening the darkness in the soul of a wretched and hopeless man?" How I would've wanted to complement the happiness of two lovers who fled from the whole world, traversing oceans to find solace on an island rich with birds and fruits! I would've wanted to shade Alexander during the final moments of his life..."

    Yes, I agree with you. I thought The Trees contemplations were touching, too... especially when it ends with "Ah, to which story was I meant to add meaning and grace?".

    A very melancholic tree indeed...
