    • 2019 Feb, Victor HUGO, translated by İsmet Birkan, Notre-Dame’ın Kamburu, Can Yayınları, →ISBN, page 610:
      Hey, Üstat, tuhaf açılar yapan şu siyah damlara bakar mısınız! Şuraya, aydedenin kabuğu kırılmış bir yumurta sarısı gibi ezilip yayıldığı şu alçak, örümcek ağını andıran, bulanık ve kirli bulut kümesinin altına?
      Only look, master, at that group of black roofs which form such singular angles—there, beneath that mass of low, streaky, dirty-looking clouds, in which the moon appears smashed and spread about like the yolk of a broken egg.
