"Karanfil

Yarin dudağından getirilmiş
Bir katre alevdir bu karanfil,
Ruhum acısından bunu bildi.

Düştükçe vurulmuş gibi, yer yer
Kızgın kokusundan kelebekler,
Gönlüm ona pervane kesildi.

katre = damla

From the page: "The late great science fiction grandmaster, Alfred Bester, once wrote a story called "Adam and No Eve". Over the years it has risen to classic status within the field.

Well, Alfie was almost right. The real truth of the matter is that there was Eve and no Adam.

We're talking about the real Adam and Eve here, the most recent common ancestors of the human race, not the Biblical couple who had that little problem with the snake and the apple.

Now, there doesn't seem to be much doubt that Eve, the Big Mama of the race, lived about 150,000 years ago. We've known that for years: we just track mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from a mother to her offspring. But until recently, we could never find a way to pinpoint Adam; then geneticists discovered how to trace the Y chromosome, which occurs only in males.

And now comes the interesting news: Acccording to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Adam lived only 50,000 years ago." Check the rest
