Living is no laughing matter:

you must live with great seriousness

like a squirrel, for example-

I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,

I mean living must be your whole occupation.

Yasamak sakaya gelmez,

buyuk bir ciddiyetle yasayacaksin

bir sincap gibi mesela,

yani, yasamanin disinda ve otesinde hicbir sey beklemeden,

yani butun isin gucun yasamak olacak.

Nazim Hikmet

I can write the saddest poem tonight
I can say, the night is full of stars

Bu gece en hüzünlü þiiri yazabilirim
Þöyle diyebilirim: gece yýldýzla dolu

And the stars are blinking far away, in the darkness
Wind of the night is swinging in the sky with songs

Ve yýldýzlar, masmavi titreþiyor uzakta
Þakýyarak dönüyor gökte gece rüzgarý

Pablo Neruda
