Hello Anto,
Thank you for the beautiful poem.I read that before.
We all are beginners and hope speak this beautiful and melodic language some day, and read original poems not the translations.Every poetic work is good in its own language(for me).
By the way, the suggestion was made by me but it doesn't matter me or Slavica(she is my dear sis).
Thank you for responding.
We are waiting for others...
Regards Bliss

I am sorry,
The autor of the poem TWILIGHT is Jovan Ducic(1872-1943)

Hello my dear classmates,
I think we started tradition here to share poems(love and other).
On my birthday I received the lovely book of Serbian poems from my dear sestrichka (sister- 'sis') Slavica-Sibel, and want to share with you.This is beautiful poem.I hope you like it, and sombody could translate this into Turkish(It is my big wish!)

TWILIGHT
I love you with a melancholy ardor
And with doubt in the beauty and gloom of sorrow:
The present happiness is destroying
The infinite other happiness I crave.

For me you erase sunshine, though you did give
A hundred eyes to my heart, and opened
New roads to my soul, but you had them all merge
In you, like sounds that fade into a valley!

A hundred desires resembling white flocks
Headed south, only to land bewitched on your isle;
A hundred religions to trail one day behind you
Like a hundred white-clad children in a procession.

You raised a hundred hatreds to stand guard
Like a hundred black sails at the entrance to your port;
Thus, to my soul, you extended your hand
With the huge poisoned blossom of your being.

With all the passion of the first and last woman
You rule my soul, entire, forever - like
Fate, you too, reign omnipotent, immobile.
You stand between me and all that is around -

While from dried up rocks spring new waters,
And blue flowers blossom from an old stump,
And sparkle as on the day of their birth
All galaxies from a boundless sky!

My love, like the shadows in a thicket,
I filled with hatred, remorse and fear -
But my thirst for treason changed in a flash
Into new oaths and the delights of confession.

Thus falls bitterly, a certain faded twilight
Befogging my road; painfuly and forever,
While deep in me,love and envious malice
Sing together like two angeles in a choir.


While I was writing the poem, I've got an idea. Why we dont make a contest - WHO'S TRANSLATION IS GONNA BE BETTER ONE. Let's do it. I wish you all luck. The contest is started. Go ahead , my friends. God be with all.
Regards Bliss


- and this is for you in advance.

Yes, Sibel, me too.I think you are right, maybe because it was familiar already and we read Admin's translation first but I think not only because of that. I think Admin used more poetic words(Lover instead of beloved and so on).
Thank you , Konat for the link.I tried already, it is great.Poetry lovers, try it, you are not gonna be disappointed.Good luck to all.

Dear Kelly,
I am flattered ...
I am glad there is something named after me, now I'll wait for sombody who can name their baby after me
I don't think I deserved so many wonderful words.I do not do anything exceptional but anyway thank you.
Regards Bliss

You are right , sestrichka,
We'll wait.I think our lovely classmates will be agree with you too.And then His Majesty might give his approval.We'll hope.

Hello my dear Sibel(I know you love this name) but you still are my dear sestrichka!
You are right.You could move my heart though.I was in very bad mood but was laughing when read your post.Thank you!
LOVE is beautiful feeling!!!
I got one new quotation here and want to share with you.
"You can fall from a bridge, you can fall from above but the best way of falling is falling in LOVE!" It is from Indian poetry.
I am agree with you to have that motto.
Love Bliss

My dearest sestrichka!
Thank you for this poem.It is very beautiful.It is full of passion.
And thank you, Erdinc for making it possible to understand it.Your translation is great.I like it very much.
Lately we are very sad because of mother-nature.Thank you both for making our spirits alive again with reminding us that there is beautiful feeling called LOVE.
I have a poem, now have to find somebody to send it
and this is for you, sestrichka!

Hello my dear Tsarevna Anastasia!
You touched my heart with your prayer.I am with you.
Katarina made me forget my own problems.They seem as a drop of water in ocean (russians say).
Thank you for the beautiful poem you sent me.
You are real friend.
God Bless you and all.
With love Bliss

This is America's deadliest natural disaster in a century. It is an agonizing time...
80% of New Orleans is covered wirth water. Electric power is gone.Drinking water is gone, Sewage service is gone.Roads are destroyed.Tens of thousands of homes are buried in contaminated floodwaters.The dead - still uncounted - float in drowned neghborhoods or lie pinned beneath debries. For two days people were without food and water.They lost everything.
To pump the flooded city dry will take a minimum of 30 days.Then to flash the drinking water system, making sure they don't recycle the contaminants will take another month. Many months will elapse before everybody's lights come back on. By the time many people will have move away forever.
There may be nothing normal about New Orleans for years.The floodwater, spiked with tons of contaminants ranging from heavy metals and hydrocarbons to industrial waste, human feces and decayed remains of humans and animals, will linger nearly in the Gulf of Mexico for a decade.
Today is mourning day. Let's pray for all the people and souls who is gone in this terrible tagedy.
God bless all.
