Robert Burns Quotes

1. "O birisi birisiyle çavdar tarlasinda karsilasir seklinde dedi. Biliyorum bu Robert Burns'un siiri.Evet hakliydi.O "Birisi birisiyle çavdar tarlasinda karsilasirsa". Bilmiyordum. Ben onu birisi birisini çavdar tarlasinda yakalarsa zannediyordum, dedim. Her neyse, gözümün önüne bu büyük çavdar tarlasinda oynayan küçük çocuklari getiriyorum.Binlerce küçük çocuk ve baska hiçkimse yok -büyükleri kastediyorum- benim disimda.Çilgin bir uçurumun basinda oturuyorum. Ne yapmaliyim, bir yerlerden oraya nereye kostuklarinin farkinda olmadan, uçurumdan atlayacaklarindan habersiz gelen çocuklari yakalamaliyim. Bütün gün bunu yapmak isterdim. Ben kesinlikle sadece çavdar tarlasinda bir yakalayici olmak isterdim.Biliyorum bu gerçekten çilginca ama gerçekten benimseyebildigim tek fikir bu.Biliyorum bu delice."
