J'ai suivi la piste laissée par Loti, un parfum de nostalgie.
Stamboul trépidant, j'ai un instant cherché le cimetière de Chichli.
Existe-t'elle toujours la borne sous laquelle repose Aziyadé ?
Le marbre vieilli a-t'il conservé en sa veine son nom gravé ?
Place Mehmed-Fatih, Loti, j'ai craint la désillusion, et suis reparti.
Stamboul se reflète dans les eaux grasses du Bosphore endormi.
Aziyadé, dort, paisible dans l'oubli du temps, elle sait ton amour.
Aziyadé, un rêve, que tu as caressé, sans le saisir, mais un jour…
Loti, officier aventurier, tu voyageais dans les mondes artificiels.
Dans tes fantasmes orientaux, les mots avaient la saveur du miel.

Good morning Wilson, I am impressed by your French, congratulations and thanks for your comment. Indeed this is an important artwork for me, as it reflects my deepest admiration for Pierre Loti, a Navy officer and writer who used to travel around the world in the early 20th century and who spent quite a long time in Turkey and fell in love with a young local girl. He left her and went on traveling… When he came back years later, she was dead, he struggled to find her grave in a remote cemetery in Instanbul. When I was in Turkey, I followed his path and wrote this poem which goes with the painting…

Je suis captivée (le comble pour une louve) par la peinture et les mots : Une oeuvre d'une grande force. Roselyne
