Evrim Kavcar For there’s a limit to gazing.
And the gazed-at world
Wants to blossom in love.

    Night. O you whose countenance, dissolved
    in deepness, hovers above my face.
    You who are the heaviest counterweight
    to my astounding contemplation.
    
    Night, that trembles as reflected in my eyes,
    but in itself strong;
    inexhaustible creation, dominant,
    enduring beyond the earth's endurance;
    
    Night, full of newly created stars that leave
    trails of fire streaming from their seams
    as they soar in inaudible adventure
    through interstellar space:
    
    how, overshadowed by your all-embracing vastness,
    I appear minute!---
    Yet, being one with the ever more darkening earth,
    I dare to be in you.
