an old mosque courtyard

TIME IN BURSA
Tanpinar

 An old mosque courtyard in Bursa
 The small fountain splashing water
 A wall from the time of Orhan
 An aged plane tree of the same era
Sifts a quiet day all about.
The sorrow of being left behind by a dream
Laughs at me from deep within
More than the coolness of a hundred fountains
The greenest of fields, bluest of skies
And of minarets the most divine.
