Don't Ask For Reason (9/20/15)
Don’t Ask For Reason (9/20/15)

At night, I turned around the city like wind, running like water

How can sleep overcome the one who walks around the city in darkness?

The mind is the one who wants to have everything in order.

Don’t ask for reason or manners from the drunk.

Ergin, Rubailer, V.98, p. 197
