Fortieth Gate

Reader: You have never been a hypocrite towards me, have you? At least even if you were like that, I am grateful to you for not being able to make me feel it. I don't think you regret ever putting Fuzûlî, Bâkî, Galib and Nedim back on your agenda, painting the long distances between you and them with the ink dripping from the tip of my pen, and rediscovering our own civilizational background. Moreover, oh reader, just think about it, I wonder how many happy people like you and me are there under the sky, accustomed to roses and nightingales, at peace with poetry and love, and how many people live a life with such depth?!.. If you take a look around you, you will see love and affection and poetry. And who can miss the song, the flower and the insect and live happily?! ... You and I, reader, you and I... Tell me, for God's sake, are we separate!..This letter was written for those who will go to the Fortieth Gate with a pure heart...
