Istanbul in Turkey

____________________ in ____________________ - a city poised between ____________________ and ____________________ and between the ____________________ and the ____________________ . It's a ____________________ place to think about where all this ____________________ from not the ____________________ structures of this ____________________ city but the ____________________ web that holds all cities ____________________ and which we ____________________ have been ____________________ since the time of the very ____________________ cities some ____________________ years ago . ____________________ is the best ____________________ for it one of the most ____________________ innovations in our ____________________ story . Historians today have become a little bit ____________________ by the word ____________________ . We prefer less exalted terms such as ____________________ community or ____________________ . But in telling the ____________________ of the first ____________________ civilisations of the ____________________ world I'm going to be making the ____________________ for civilisation itself . More than ____________________ years ago an unknown ____________________ listed the ____________________ of a ____________________ city the place where ____________________ was first ____________________ and where the ____________________ of a civilisation still find their most concrete ____________________ . The details of the ____________________ are so vivid they could have been written ____________________ . The ____________________ are well ____________________ and the ____________________ within the ____________________ are well ____________________ . Those who ____________________ before the ____________________ rejoice in the ____________________ . And ____________________ flock to and fro like exotic ____________________ . The old women are full of good ____________________ . The old men are full of good ____________________ . The young ____________________ are full of ____________________ spirit . The young ____________________ are full of ____________________ spirit . And the ____________________ ones are full of the ____________________ of ____________________ . The people are ____________________ . Of course not ____________________ can be happy . But I believe that the ____________________ expressed in that ____________________ poem make as much sense to us ____________________ as they did ____________________ years ago . It's like that when you look down into the ____________________ of ____________________ . It gets dark so ____________________ . But then just sometimes you catch a ____________________ of something at the ____________________ alive and ____________________ . Then suddenly you realize that it's your own ____________________ looking back at you . That's the ____________________ that I want to tell to you ____________________ . It's not the story of ____________________ worlds long ____________________ it's the ____________________ of ____________________ , ____________________ .
