and pull the nets out of the sea:the fish get all mixed up with the stars.Now I’m responsiblefor the state of the world:people and earth, darkness and light.So you see I’m up to my ears in work.Hush, my rose, hush—I’m busy falling in love with you. —Nazim Hikmet, translated by Mutlu Konuk and Randy Blasing
