Yehuda HaLevi Famous Poetry Quotes

Yehuda HaLevi

My heart in the East
But the rest of me far in the West -
How can I savor this life, even taste what I eat?
How, in the bonds of the Moor,
Zion chained to the Cross,
Can I do what I’ve vowed to and must?
Gladly I’d leave
All the best of grand Spain
For one glimpse of the ruined Shrine’s dust.
