“Senin bu ellerinde ne var bilmiyorum göğe bakalım
Tuttukça güçleniyorum kalabalık oluyorum
Bu senin eski zaman gözlerin yalnız gibi ağaçlar gibi
Sularım ısınsın diye bakıyorum ısınıyor
Seni aldım bu sunturlu yere getirdim
Sayısız penceren vardı bir bir kapattım
Bana dönesin diye bir bir kapattım
Şimdi otobüs gelir biner gideriz
Dönmeyeceğimiz bir yer beğen başka türlüsü güç
Bir ellerin bir ellerim yeter belleyelim yetsin
Seni aldım bana ayırdım durma kendini hatırlat
Durma kendini hatırlat
Durma göğe bakalım”

Gözlerin durur mu onlar da gidiyorlar. Gitsinler.

Sevgideydi ilk açılışı gözlerimizin sırf onaydı
Bir kuş konmuş parmaklarıma uzun uzun ötmüştü
Bir sevişmek gelmiş bir daha gitmemişti
Yoktu dünlerde evelsi günlerdeki yoksulluğumuz
Sanki hiç olmamıştı”
― Cemal Süreya, Sevda Sözleri

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
