Happy 8 March International Working Women's Day! Some apt words for this day from renowned writer and poet Nazım Hikmet.
The faces of our women are the book of our pains.
Our pains, our faults and the blood we shed
carve scars on the faces of our women like plows.
Our pains, our faults and the blood we shed
carve scars on the faces of our women like plows.
And our joys are reflected in the eyes of women
like the dawns glowing on the lakes.
like the dawns glowing on the lakes.
Our imaginations are on the faces of women we love.
Whether we see them or not, they are before us,
Whether we see them or not, they are before us,
closest to our realities and furthest.
