"Love! (...) Everything is mysterious about it: how it comes, how it develops, and how it disappears. Sometimes it appears suddenly, knowing no doubt, beaming with joy like the sun, other times it smolders like fire under the ashes, and bursts into the soul when everything has already been destroyed.

Love! (...) Everything is mysterious about it: how it comes, how it develops, and how it disappears. Sometimes it appears suddenly, knowing no doubt, beaming with joy like the sun, other times it smolders like fire under the ashes, and bursts into the soul when everything has already been destroyed.
""Szerelem! (...) Minden titokzatos benne: ahogy megjön, ahogy kifejlődik, s ahogy eltűnik. Van úgy, hogy hirtelen jelenik meg, kétséget nem ismerve, örömtől sugározva, mint a nappal, máskor parázslik, mint a tűz a hamu alatt, s fellángolva csap be a lélekbe, mikor ott már minden elpusztult."
