Kanada dogumlu Amerikali yazar Saul Bellow, Humboldt'un Armagani (Humboldt's Gift - Il dono di Humboldt) romaniyla 3 Mayis 1976’da Pulitzer Odulunu kazandi.



"Von Humboldt Fleisher'in baladlari 1930'larda yayimlandiginda olaganustu bir ilgiyle karsilandi. Humboldt herkesin bekledigi adamdi. Hele Orta Bati'da yasayan ben, sabirsizlikla bekliyordum. Bir oncuydu, yeni bir kusagin ilk ornegiydi; yakisikli, sarisin, iri yapili, ciddi, zeki ve bilgiliydi. Butun iyi vasiflari kendinde toplamisti. Tum gazeteler kitabindan soz ediyordu. Fotografi Time'in kapaginda asagilanmadan, Newsweek'in kapaginda ovgulerle yer aldi. Soytari Baladlari'ni hevesle okudum. Wisconsin Universitesi'nde ogrenciydim, gece gunduz edebiyattan baska sey dusunmuyordum. Humboldt bana yeni yollar gosteriyordu. Kendimden gecmistim, sansli olusuna, yetenegine, unune gipta ediyordum. Mayista onu gormek, —mumkunse yakininda olmak icin doguya gittim. Scranton yolundan Greyhound otobusuyle yolculuk yaklasik elli saat surdu..."



"The book of ballads published by Von Humboldt Fleisher in the Thirties was an immediate hit. Humboldt was just what everyone had been waiting for. Out in the Midwest I had certainly been waiting eagerly, I can tell you that. An avant-garde writer, the first of a new generation, he was handsome, fair, large, serious, witty, he was learned. The guy had it all. All the papers reviewed his book. His picture appeared in Time without insult and in Newsweek with praise. I read Harlequin Ballads enthusiastically. I was a student at the University of Wisconsin and thought about nothing but literature day and night. Humboldt revealed to me new ways of doing things. I was ecstatic. I envied his luck, his talent, and his fame, and I went east in May to have a look at him—perhaps to get next to him. The Greyhound bus, taking the Scranton route, made the trip in about fifty hours..."

Polonya asilli Amerikali yazar Jerzy Kosiński’nin olum yildonumu (3 Mayis 1991)

''Bazen gunler gecer, Ludmilla gorunmezdi. O zaman buyuk bir kizginlik, gizliden gizliye kemirir Lekh'in icini. Gozlerini kuslara diker, saatler boyunca kendi kendine homurdanirdi. Uzun uzun ve gunlerce dusundukten sonra en guzel kuslardan birini secerdi. Kusu bilegine bagladiktan sonra bir suru garip seyi birbirine karistirip kokulu bir boya elde eder, degisik renklerde, kutu kutu hazirlardi bu boyadan. Sonra kusun basini, kanatlarini, boynunu ebemkusagi renkleriyle bezer, tuylerine bir demet yabani cicegin goz kamastirici parlakligini verirdi.

Sonra ormanin iclerine yururduk birlikte. Epey ilerledikten sonra Lekh durur, kusu bileginden cozup bana verir ve ayaklarindan tutarak sallamami isterdi. Boyali kus soylenir durur, bagirisina gelen bir suru kus tepemizde donmeye baslardi.Onlara ulasmak isteyen debelenir, butun gucuyle oter, boyali boynunun icinde kalbi delice atardi.''



“Sometimes days passed and Stupid Ludmila did not appear in the forest. Lekh would become possessed by a silent rage. He would stare solemnly at the birds in the cages, mumbling something to himself. Finally, after prolonged scrutiny, he would choose the strongest bird, tie it to his wrist and prepare stinking paints of different colors which he mixed together from the most varied components. When the colors satisfied him, Lekh would turn the bird over and paint its wings, head, and breast in rainbow hues until it became more dappled and vivid than a bouquet of wildflowers.

Then he would go into the thick of the forest. There Lekh took out the painted bird and ordered me to hold it in my hand and squeeze it lightly. The bird would begin to twitter and attract a flock of the same species which would fly nervously over our heads. Our prisoner, hearing them, strained toward them, warbling more loudly, its little heart, locked in its freshly painted breast, beating violently.”

"Esyasinin deniz kiyisindaki Hotel des Bains'e goturulmesini soyledi; kendisi de adayi ikiye bolerek plaja uzanan, sagi solu meyhaneler, carsi ve pansiyonlarla dolu bulvar, beyaz beyaz cicekler acmis bulvar boyunca, arabanin pesi sira yurumeye basladi. / Ordinò che gli portassero le valige all'Hôtel des Bains e seguí la carretta lungo il viale tutto fiorito di bianco, fiancheggiato da caffè, bazar e pensioni, che attraversa l'isola fino alla spiaggia." Thomas Mann, Venedik'te Olum

“Evden disari cikmaniza gerek yok. Masanizda oturun ve dinleyin. Hatta dinlemeyin bile, sadece bekleyin. Beklemeyin, sakin ve tek basiniza kalin. Butun dunya kendisini size sunacaktir. / Es ist nicht notwendig, daß Du aus dem Haus gehst. Bleib bei Deinem Tisch und horche. Horche nicht einmal, warte nur. Warte nicht einmal, sei völlig still und allein. Anbieten wird sich Dir die Welt zur Entlarvung, sie kann nicht anders, verzückt wird sie sich vor Dir winden." Franz Kafka
