"The most beautiful sea
hasn't been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child
hasn't grown up yet.
Our most beautiful days
we haven't seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
I haven't said yet."
- 9-10 P.M. Poems: 24 September 1945
I posted this 5 years ago (?), but as it's Hikmet's birthday today, it's worth reposting ?
