Quotes And in spring - let me see spring, not Poland. Herostrates A night with you - this is one thing that works like hashish,Only one thing you can believe in unconsciously.And I don't know if there is love apart from your bodyAnd I know you don't love me, that you will forget about me. Impurity I feel very bad today, I feel very sad,My thoughts are withered, sick, like flowers on a grave,Outside the windows, the sky hangs like a gray canvas.I can't love you or think about you today. Jealousy I know now: it's as bright as the sun in the sky,And the heart must die under heavy mourning,Because I will never take you to myself for eternity.You will never be me and I will never be you. Jealousy You ask what is the most important thing in my life,I'll tell you: death and love - both. You ask what is the most important thing in my life What to do? I have to get drunk on a bottle of ambrosia,What's left of my youthful banquets.I leave with a rose in my hand, with the moon under my armpit,And I leave the rest for new poets.
