to shudder in the face of time

"To discover that the place in which we have grown up - the center of our lives, the starting point for everything we have ever done - did not in fact exist a hundred years before our birth, is to feel like a ghost looking back on his life, to shudder in the face of time."
Pamuk em Istanbul.

embora o capítulo dedicado ao Bósforo me tenha obrigado a relê-lo algumas vezes, magníficas imagens que terei de copiar, na tradução de Maureen Freely.
