"The XV. on old maps of the 19th century, we can see wide, shapeless, empty areas on which these three words are painted: Hic sunt leones. Humans also have such gloomy areas. Passions hide and groan inside us somewhere, and it can also be said about the dark spots of our souls: lions roam here.

The XV. on old maps of the 19th century, we can see wide, shapeless, empty areas on which these three words are painted: Hic sunt leones. Humans also have such gloomy areas. Passions hide and groan inside us somewhere, and it can also be said about the dark spots of our souls: lions roam here.
""A XV. század régi térképein láthatunk széles, formátlan, üres területeket, amelyekre ez a három szó van festve: Hic sunt leones. Az emberben is vannak ily komor területek. Szenvedélyek bujkálnak és nyögnek bennünk valahol, s lelkünk sötét foltjairól is el lehet mondani: itt oroszlánok tanyáznak."
