| Walking in the night air along the Bosphorus where the city light scintillated on the water, I envied the dervishes their passion, their longing and their faith. |
| As we chugged across the Bosphorus we passed a school of ferries criss-crossing the straits in their livery of yellow and white. |
| Tugs were sent to tow the vessels through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea. |
| The building, whose economical and utilitarian design gives it an imposing solidarity, is still there, situated about 300 metres from the Bosphorus shoreline. |
| I have seen it on Greek vases, and among the sailors of the Cyclades and on the Bosphorus. |
| The shores of the Bosphorus were lined with fishermen and a procession of large, slow-moving families enjoying the unusually fine weather. |
