DUR YOLCU
Dur yolcu, bilmeden gelip bastığın,
Bu toprak, bir devrin battığı yerdir.
Eğil de kulak ver, bu sessiz yığın,
Bir vatan kalbinin attığı yerdir!.
Bu ıssız, gölgesiz yolun sonunda,
"Sana kendini daha iyi hissettirmesi deliliğini haklı çıkarmaz."
London Has Fallen filminden.
Wanderer
Die Zeit ist abgeflossen, wo mir noch Zufälle begegnen durften; und was könnte jetzt noch zu mir fallen, was nicht schon mein Eigen wäre!
Es kehrt nur zurück, es kommt mir endlich heim - mein eigen Selbst, und was von ihm lange in der Fremde war und zerstreut unter alle Dinge und Zufälle
The time is now past when accidents could befall me; and what could now fall to my lot which would not already be my own!
It returns only, it comes home to me at last - my own Self, and such of it as has been long abroad, and scattered among things and accidents.
Sayfa 122 - Dritter Theil/Wanderer/Bill Chapko
Wally Whitman - Dead Poets Society
o captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done,
the ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
the port is near, the bells i hear, the people all exulting,
while follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
but o heart! heart! heart!
o the bleeding drops of red,
where on the deck my captain lies,
fallen cold and dead.
o captain! my captain! rise up and hear the bells;
rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,
for you bouquets and ribboned wreaths--for you the shores accrowding,
for you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
here captain! dear father!
this arm beneath your head!
it is some dream that on the deck
you've fallen cold and dead.
my captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
my father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
the ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
from fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
exult o shores, and ring o bells!
but i, with mournful tread,
walk the deck my captain lies,
fallen cold and dead.
APOCALYPTICISM IN HELLENİSTİC JUDAISM
"Apocalypticists often present a pessimistic view of the world with a marked tendency towards dualism. According to them, this world is evil and, unlike the Old Testament prophets, who believed that the world is under God's control and improvable, they believe the present age is irretrievable. Although God controls the world and its history, the world has been led astray Staan adn the fallen angels, the demons. All of history's struggles are a reflection of the cosmic struggle between God and the evil powers, which hold the world in their evil grasp. However, God will soon intervene and engage them in a cosmic conflict in which the whole of creation will be involved. The last day are described as a time of great trouble, the worst the world has ever seen. Some apocaliypses predict vast terrestrial disasters and cosmic disturbances."
When i met you i thought, i would finally get rid of this mess i am in...
But then i realized. You have fallen in love for a version of me that doesn't have these problems.
