Eğer yeterince dünyamız.

Ve sonsuz zamanımız olsaydı,

Bu çekingenliğin suç sayılmazdı sevgilim.

Oturur, hangi yoldan yürümeli diye düşünür,

Aşkımızın uzun günlerini birlikte geçirirdik.

Ama hep arkamda duyarım.

Zamanın kanatlı savaş arabasını yaklaşırken;

Önümüzdeyse uzanır.

Sonsuzluğun uçsuz bucaksız çölleri.

O hâlde yaşayalım elimizden geldiğince;

Yırtıcı ama tutkulu kuşlar gibi,

Zamanı biz tüketelim bir anda,

Onun ağır ve acımasız gücünde eriyip gitmek yerine.

*

Had we but world enough, and time,

This coyness, lady, were no crime.

We would sit down and think which way.

To walk, and pass our long love's day.

But at my back I always hear.

Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie.

Deserts of vast eternity.

Now let us sport us while we may;

And now, like amorous birds of prey,

Rather at once our time devour.

Than languish in his slow-chapped power.

The great medieval city called the Lion of the Hanseatic League needed a representative temple tailored to its needs.

The monumental temple was built for nearly 150 years (1346–1502). The church is one of the so-called brick Gothic, Gothic architecture common in the countries of the Baltic Sea basin.

The dimensions of the Gothic colossus are; 105.5 meters long, 66 meters wide in the transept, the vault reaches a height of 30 m. The tower rises to a height of 82 meters. Medieval architects predicted the temple's capacity for over 20,000 people.
