Quotes by Melih Cevdet Anday (?)

“Bir misafirliğe gitsem
Bana temiz bir yatak yapsalar
Her şeyi, adımı bile unutup, Uyusam…
Kalktığımda yatağım hâlâ lavanta koksa
Kekikli zeytinli bir kahvaltı hazırlasalar
Nerede olduğumu hatırlamasam
Hatta adımı bile unutsam…”

“Parçalanıyordum kimse bilmeden,
Ateştim cevizin içinde,
Ve bir gece içinde bilmeden öldüm.
Ey gece, nereden yol bulacağız,
ey yaralı göğsüme düşen yelken,
Ya sen kürek, solmuş rüzgar gülüm,
Ya sen ne diyeceksin, söyle!”
― Melih Cevdet Anday
