The Physics of Immortality

24 September 1945

The most beautiful sea
                           hasn’t been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child
                           hasn’t grown up yet.
Our most beautiful days
                           we haven’t seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
                           I haven’t said yet...

Nâzım Hikmet
English translation by Randy Blasing and Mutlu Konuk
