“ No Polish monk blasphemed against whole-virginity,
So heretic will say us: Heretics!
No Polish plough ploughed else’s land,
So we will be treated like a thieves.
No Polish spirit broke up with his...,
Well, they will teach us – what is history?
But goes time – of Christ's nobility,
Voice of conscience and voiceless knowledge;
But goes time and the way simplifieds itself...
Fear those – who today learn to fear the God.

Portrait of Cyprian Kamil Norwid Cyprian Kamil Norwid,  My Little Song (II)

“ And for the griefless time of thoughtlessness,
For those who never fancy to deceive,

Not for my friendship, but it must be so...
O Lord I grieve...
