Performances by dancers and acrobats. From Surname-i Vehbi, c.1720. Topkapi Sarayi Müzesi Kütüphanesi, A.3593 Were it not for all kinds of diseases
Were it not for the accursed plague Who would ever leave this place like paradise This grief-dispelling city? If its weather were only more equable Who would ever look at another place? --from The City by Nabi (1642-1712) |
