“Biliyorum ki, döktüğünüz kanı siz değil, yalılarda yaşayan ve şiir yazıp sizi hakir gören nazik adamlar içecektir. Kostantiniye'nin kibar insanları kanla beslenir, ama siz değil! Bu yüzden siz onlardan temizsiniz! Ancak kan görünce bayılan ve vahşetten nefret eden bu beyzadeler, sizleri daima ayak takımı olarak gördüler ve göreceklerdir. Onların ruhlarının ve vicdanlarının temiz olması için, bizzat sizler, ellerinizi çamura sokacaksınız. getirdiğiniz ganimetin neredeyse hepsi, bu kibar efendilerin kesesine girecektir.

Şairler mersiye, destan, gazel yazacak. Ne ile mi? Mürekkeple değil elbette! Kanla yazacaklar ve ünlerini ebediyete kadar sürdürecekler! Sizden istenen de bu: Kostantiniye'ye kan getirin!”
