“Flame and the moth”
Plus some poetry by Mehmed II. My translation from ottoman turkish original verse ©Elveo
“Those who have seen the Galata, their hearts would be not bound to paradise garden.
After seeing good heart of that cypress they will not pray namaz.
I saw one Christ tongued Frankish.
For the mankind of Christ who has seen the World, his lips would be a sacred shrine.
Listen to reason and faith to keep the strict sense.
You will be infidels, O muslims, after seeing that Christian.
Nobody would drink from the the paradise river after drinking the pure wine of that messenger.
Nobody would go a mosque after seeing the church where he went.
O Avni, anybody would know that he was a Frankish beauty
After seeing the girdle around his waist and the crucifix around his neck”.
