"Who does not know the sad feeling when, after many years of absence, we return home and see everything so ancient and abandoned, and every object, the good acquaintances of our childhood, speaks to us plaintively; the more cheerful the memories associated with them, the deeper the sorrow grips our hearts.

Who does not know the sad feeling when, after many years of absence, we return home and see everything so ancient and abandoned, and every object, the good acquaintances of our childhood, speaks to us plaintively; the more cheerful the memories associated with them, the deeper the sorrow grips our hearts.
""Ki nem ismeri a bánatos érzést, mikor sokévi távollét után hazaérve, mindent olyan ósdinak, elhagyatottnak látunk, és panaszosan szól hozzánk minden tárgy, gyermekkorunk jó ismerősei; minél vidámabbak a hozzájuk fűződő emlékek, annál mélyebb bánat fogja el a szívünket."
