For World Poetry Day, Linnie Schell ‘19 reads from the Turkish poem "Fotoğraf" by Melih Cevdet Anday.

Dört kişi parkta çektirmişiz,
Ben, Orhan, Oktay, bir de Şinasi...
Anlaşılan sonbahar
Kimimiz paltolu, kimimiz ceketli
Yapraksız arkamızdaki ağaçlar...
Babası daha ölmemiş Oktay'ın,
Ben bıyıksızım,
Orhan, Süleyman efendiyi tanımamış.

Ama ben hiç böyle mahzun olmadım;
Ölümü hatırlatan ne var bu resimde?
Oysa hayattayız hepimiz.

The four of us had our photo taken in the park
Me, Orhan, Oktay, and Şinasi
Autumn apparently
Some of us in coats, some of us in jackets
Leafless trees behind us…
Oktay’s father hasn’t died yet
I have a mustache,
Orhan hasn’t met Master Süleyman
But I’ve never been so melancholy;
What in this picture would remind me of death?
For all of us are alive
