Due
Bitti ateş düşüncesi delice
Bilinmez gitmez taki ölünce
Öldükten sonra bitti sanılır
Arkandan bir yazı asılır
Onlar iki satır sanır
Kağıt kapkara utanır
Üzerinden iki damla düşer
Kağıt üzerindeki ne küser
My Life Has Turned to Blue (Maya Angelou)
I've heard the news
that winter too will pass,
that spring's a sign
that summer's due at last.
But until i see
lying in green grass,
my life has turned to blue.
"Since marriage affected the extended family group, fathers or uncles could arrange marriages for the good of the family without considering their children’s wishes. Most important was the engagement ceremony in which a prospective son-in-law made a payment symbolizing the purchase of paternal authority over the bride. The essential feature of the marriage itself involved placing the married couple in bed to achieve their physical union. In first marriages, it was considered important that the wife be a virgin so as to ensure that any children would be the husband’s. A virgin symbolized the ability of the bloodline to continue. For this reason, adultery was viewed as pollution of the woman and her offspring, poisoning the future. Adulterous wives were severely punished (an adulterous woman could be strangled or even burned alive); adulterous husbands were not. Divorce was relatively simple and was initiated primarily by the husband. Divorced wives simply returned to their families."
"For most women in the new Germanic kingdoms, their legal status reflected the material conditions of their lives. Archaeological evidence suggests that most women had life expectancies of only thirty or forty years and that about 10 to 15 percent of women died in their childbearing years, no doubt due to complications associated with childbirth. For most women, life consisted of domestic labor: providing food and clothing for the household, caring for the children, and assisting with numerous farming chores. Of all the duties of women, the most important was childbearing, because it was crucial to the maintenance of the family and its properties."
