"Düvel-i Muazzama, toprağı zengin, cebi fakir Doğu'yu, tam karşısında hem de anadan üryan görünce, hiç duraksamadan yaklaştı. Doğu bayılıverdi oracıkta. Öylece yatan Doğu büyük bir haç gördü hayalinde. Haçın solunda FAKİRLİK, sağında ZENGİNLİK, üstünde AKIL, altındaysa KORKU yazılıydı."

"The Great Powers, they saw the East with its rich soil and empty pockets stand naked before them, and approached it without hesitation. The East fainted at once. The recumbent East saw a great cross in its dream. On the left of the cross was inscribed the word POVERTY, and on the left WEALTH, at the top it said REASON and at the foot of the cross was the word FEAR."
