Koca imparator Sezar ölüp toprak olunca
Bir deliği tıkayabilir rüzgara karşı
Ey bir zamanlar dünyayı titreten kasırga
Şimdi duvarda harç, kışın soğuğuna karşı.
What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
—Something out of it, I think.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
