- 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.
