“Finished in a frenzy that reminded me of our last night in Cambridge. Watched my final sunrise. Enjoyed a last cigarette. Didn’t think the view could be any more perfect until I saw that beat-up trilby. Honestly, Sixsmith, as ridiculous as that thing makes you look, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful. Watched you for as long as I dared. I don’t believe it was a fluke that I saw you first. I believe there is another world waiting for us, Sixsmith. A better world, and I’ll be waiting for you there. I believe we do not stay dead long. Find me beneath the Corsican stars, where we first kissed.

Yours eternally, R.F.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“Üçüncü Şahsın Şiiri

gözlerin gözlerime degince,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.
beni sevmiyordun bilirdim,
bir sevdigin vardi duyardim.
çöp gibi bir oglan ipince,
hayirsizin biriydi fikrimce.
ne vakit karsimda görsem,
öldürecegimden korkardim,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.

ne vakit maçka'dan geçsem,
limanda hep gemiler olurdu.
agaçlar kus gibi gülerdi,
bir rüzgar aklimi alirdi.
sessizce bir cigara yakardin,
parmaklarimin ucunu yakardin,
kirpiklerini egerdin bakardin.
üsürdüm içim ürperirdi,
felaketim olurdu aglardim.

aksamlar bir roman gibi biterdi.
jezabel kan içinde yatardi.
limandan bir gemi giderdi,
sen kalkip ona giderdin.
benzin mum gibi giderdin,
sabaha kadar kalirdin.
hayirsizin biriydi fikrimce,
güldü mü cenazeye benzerdi.
hele seni kollarina aldi mi;
felaketim olurdu aglardim”
