Auch das schneebedeckte Denkmal der Republik, die nirgendwo hinführenden breiten griechischen Treppen und das Gebäude der Oper, dessen lodernden Brand Galip vor zehn Jahren genüßlich beobachtet hatte, verwandelten sich in solide Monumente eines imaginären Landes, für das sie nur Kennzeichen hatten sein wollen.
Its landmarks were the same, but now, when Galip looked at the snow-covered Statue of the Republic, at the wide Greek staircase leading nowhere, at the “opera” house he’d so blithely watched burn to the ground ten years earlier, he knew that they too belonged to the imaginary country they signified.
