"According to dreamy souls, the sea hides huge, blue landscapes in its womb, and those who dive into the water find themselves among huge fish, in strange forests, in crystal caves. The river, on the other hand, only has black depths where corpses rot in mud. Still, how beautiful it is when it shines in the rising sun and gently ripples between its shores lined with buzzing reeds!

According to dreamy souls, the sea hides huge, blue landscapes in its womb, and those who dive into the water find themselves among huge fish, in strange forests, in crystal caves. The river, on the other hand, only has black depths where corpses rot in mud. Still, how beautiful it is when it shines in the rising sun and gently ripples between its shores lined with buzzing reeds!
""Ábrándos lelkek szerint a tenger óriási, kékes tájakat rejt méhében, s akik a vízbe fúltak, ott görögnek hatalmas halak közt, különös erdőkben, kristálybarlangokban. A folyónak viszont csak fekete mélységei vannak, ahol iszapban rothadnak a hullák. Mégis milyen szép, amikor ragyog a kelő napban, és lágyan csobog zsongó nádasokkal szegett partjai közt!"
