This could be an allegory for…
from Son Oyun, Ahmet Altan: Galiba o anda, hayatımın değişiceğini hissetmiştim, bunu anlatmak çok zor, o gülüş ve hemen ardından gelen o tutuşun bir başlangıç olduğunu nasıl anlamış olduğumu anlatamam, sadece anlamıştım işte. It was probably in that moment that I sensed that my life was going to change. It’s so hard to understandContinue reading “This could be an allegory for…”

Why tell about the dark wood
Midway in the journey of our life I came to myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost. Yaşam yolumuzun ortasında karanlık bir ormanda buldum kendimi, çünkü doğru yol yitmişti. Ah, how hard it is to tell the nature of that wood, savage, dense, and harsh — the very thought of itContinue reading “Why tell about the dark wood”

Spirits of another sort
PUCK My fairy lord, this must be done with haste, For night’s swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora’s harbinger; At whose approach, ghosts, wandering here and there, Troop home to church-yards: damned spirit all, That in cross-ways and floods have burial, Already to their wormy beds are gone; For fearContinue reading “Spirits of another sort”
