Yatsak,uykumuzu zehredebilir rüya.
Kalksak, kirletebilir günü tek bir avare düşünce. Hisset,düşün,anl, ister gül,ister ağla,
Kedere sarıl,yahut kaygıyı def eyle,
İster neşe,ister keder;farkı olmaz,
Serbestçe çekip gidebilir ikisi de.
insanın dünü ile yarını bir olmaz;
Kalıcı şey yoktur,değişkenlikten öte!
There is to me about this place a smell of rot, the smell of rot that ripe fruit makes. Nowhere, ever, have the hideous mechanics of birth and copulation and death - those monstrous upheavals of life that the Greeks call miasma, defilement - been so brutal or been painted up to look so pretty; have so many people put so much faith in lies and mutability and death death death.
Love is the world's infinite mutability; lies, hatred, murder even, are all knit up in it; it is the inevitable blossoming of its opposites, a magnificent smelling faintly of blood.
