To seek to transpose the creations of a poet from one language to another would be as wise as throwing a violin into a crucible to discover the essential principles of its color and smell. The plant must spring up again from its seed; for otherwise it will not flourish - this is the burden of the curse of the tower of Babel.

Romanian

"A căuta să transpui creațiile unui poet dintr-o limbă în alta, ar fi tot atât de înțelept ca și a arunca o viorea într-un creuzet pentru a descoperi principiile esențiale ale culorii și mirosului ei. Planta trebuie să răsară din nou din sămânța ei; căci altfel nu va înflori - aceasta e povara blestemului turnului Babel."
