Time is the best, our true gift, and its measure is the hourglass: the narrow neck through which the bloody sand spins is so fine, its spinning is so hair-thin that for a long time the sand does not run out of the upper cavity at all, only at the very end , then yes, then it feels like it goes by very quickly, and it feels like it all went by quickly.

Hungarian

"Az idő a legjobb, az igazi adományunk, s annak mércéje a homokóra: oly igen finom a szűk nyaka, melyen át a veres homok pereg, oly hajszálvékony a pergése, hogy jó ideig szemre egyáltalában nem fogy a homok a felső üregéből, csak a legvégén, akkor igen, akkor úgy rémlik, igen gyorsan múlik, s úgy rémlik, gyorsan múlt el az egész."
