Voi ch'ascoltate in rime sparse il suono di quei sospiri ond'io nudriva 'l core in sul mio primo giovenile errore quand'era in parte altr'uom da quel… - Petrarch

Here I have established my Rome, my Athens, and my spiritual fatherland; here I gather all the friends I now have or did have, not only those ... who have lived with me, but also those who died many centuries ago, known to me only through their writings. ... I am where I wish to be.

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

This is my only way to shield myself, from people's knowing glances, since they read from my miserable bearing, all joy spent, and know the fires that must rage within.
