beyond time

• ahmet hamdi tanpınarın zamansızlık konusunu işleyen ne içindeyim zamanın ^* şiirinin metis yayınları çevirisi:
  
  i am
  not within time,
  nor entirely beyond;
  but in the flux
  of an all-embracing, complete, indivisible moment.
  
  all forms in a trance
  of strange dream-tones,
  even a windblown feather
  is not as light as i.
  
  my head a vast mill,
  grinding out silence;
  my heart a dervish
  naked of cloak or goatskin,
  who has reached his desire.
  
  i perceive
  the world become
  a creeping ivy, rooted in me;
  i swim at the centre
  of a deep blue light.
