How beautiful to think of you by Nazim Hikmet How beautiful to think of you: amid news of death and victory, in prison, when I'm past forty. . . How beautiful to think of you: your hand resting on blue cloth, your hair grave and soft like my beloved Istanbul earth. . . The joy of loving you is like a second person inside me. . . The smell of geranium leaves on my fingers, a sunny quiet, and the call of flesh: a warm deep darkness parted by bright red lines. . . How beautiful to think of you, to write about you, to sit back in prison and remember you: what you said on this or that day in such and such a place, not the words themselves but the world in their aura. . . How beautiful to think of you. I must carve you somthing from wood— a box, a ring— and weave you about three meters of fine silk. And jumping right up and grabbing the iron bars at my window, I must shout out the things I write for you to the milk-white blue of freedom. . . How beautiful to think of you: amid news of death and victory, in prison, when I'm past forty. . . |
