...vicdanın gözlerinden yaş getirdi, ama asla gerektiği şekilde seni değiştirmeye yetmedi. - Petrarch

Among the many subjects which interested me, I dwelt especially upon antiquity, for our own age has always repelled me, so that, had it not been for the love of those dear to me, I should have preferred to place myself in spirit in other ages, and consequently I delighted in history.

I stop, then, in my tracks, to recollect the awesome presence that I’ve left behind, the road ahead so long, my life so short, and bow my head and burst out into tears.

Everything else, every thought, goes fore and forever fades away into the recesses of time, and therein what remains is my soul's love for you.
