SKIN IN THE GAME. At 7:00 The DEATH OF ALMUTANABBI, page 393 of ANTIFRAGILE

Mutanabbi, to his friend who reminded him of his boast (in a poem M claims that he mastered both the sword and the word) :’your words have killed me… now I need to fight them to save my poetry so it remains pure, noble, and authentic”. And he runs to his certain death, as he was outnumbered by his enemies.

This is a Lebanese play (Classical Arabic spoken with a Levantine accent).
