with it he said to me one day we went on a picnic to some of our estates in the plain west of cordoba with some of my uncles so we walked in the gardens and were far from the houses and spread out on the rivers until the sky clouded over and the rain came and there was not enough cover in the presence of everyone he said so my uncle ordered some covers to be thrown over me and ordered her to be covered with me so think whatever you want of being able to see the crowd without them noticing and what a gathering like a secluded place and a celebration like a solitary one he said to me by god i will never forget that day. and i remember him telling me this story and all his limbs were laughing and he was shaking with joy despite the distance of time and the extension of time so i say a poem from him about that .
بها؛ قال لي فتنزهنا يوما إلى بعض ضياعنا بالسهلة غربي قرطبة مع بعض أعمامي، فتمشينا في البساتين وأبعدنا عن المنازل وانبسطنا على الأنهار، إلى أن غيمت السماء وأقبل الغيث، فلم يكن بالحضرة من الغطاء ما يكفي الجميع؛ قال فأمر عمي ببعض الأغطية فألقي علي وأمرها بالاكتنان معي، فظن بما شئت من التمكن على أعين الملأ وهم لا يشعرون، ويا لك من جمع كخلاء، واحتفال كانفراد، قال لي فوالله لا نسيت ذلك اليوم أبدا. ولعهدي به وهو يحدثني بهذا الحديث وأعضاؤه كلها تضحك وهو يهتز فرحا على بعد العهد وامتداد الزمان؛ ففي ذلك أقول شعرا منه .
