Nazım Hikmet (1901-1963) Today is Sunday Today is Sunday For the first time they took me out into the sun today And for the first time in my life I wasaghast that the sky is so far away and so blue and so vast I stood there without a motion. Then I sat on the ground in respectful devotion learning against the white wall. Who cares about the waves with which I yearn to roll Or about strife of freedom or my wife right now. I feel joyful and how. (Translated by Talat Sait Halman, 101Poems by 101Poets An Anthology of Turkish Poetry)
