From the library
Evimiz iç çitin büyük kestane ağaçları arkasında kaybolmuş gibiydi.
Islak taşın o kendine özgü, toprakla demir arası kokusu, son kavrulan kestanelerin tatlımsı dumanına karışarak sokağın ağzında bir süre asılı kaldı.
The smell of wet stone, that peculiar smell somewhere between earth and iron, mingled with the sweetish smoke of the last roasting chestnuts and hung for a while at the mouth of the street.
Aynı yağmur, aynı kestane kokusu, aynı düdük oradaydı; değişen, yalnızca onları duyandı.
The same rain, the same smell of chestnuts, the same horn were there; the only thing that had changed was the one who sensed them.
