“Aspasia had herself fallen into very good fortune. So good that at the age of twenty years, she’d probably used up the whole life’s portion of good luck that Tyche had allotted her. To make good fortune last—for herself and the child in her womb—would be up to her.”

“SONLULUK ÜZERİNE
Her şey geçti gitti artık.
Duyduk, yeter artık.
Bitti ve gitti artık.
Hiçbir şey dürtmüyor artık.
Bir pırt bile yok artık.
Dert tasa yok artık
Ve yakında düzelecek
Ve hiçbir şey kalmayacak
Ve sona erecek her şey.”

“The mountains she’d viewed in childhood as nurturing have now taken on a menacing quality. Their stippled surfaces—the dark of trees rising from a background of white—give the impression of something more mythic than geological. Leviathans hibernating in the open, ready to stir at any moment and swallow her whole.”
