Adam Mickiewicz quotes

Sound as a burrow'd marmot he slept
On the straw where he'd tumbled fully-dressed that night. (Adam Mickiewicz)

We'd better send For God. He will remember and tell us all.

Adam Mickiewicz

In spring's own country, where the gardens blow, You faded, tender rose! For hours now past, Like butterflies departing, on you're cast The worms of memories to work you woe.

Adam Mickiewicz

Monsters merge and welter through the water's mounting Din. All hands, stand fast! A sailor sprints aloft, Hangs, swelling spider-like, among invisible nets, Surveys his slowly undulating snares, and waits.

Adam Mickiewicz

If I gaze at a comet with all the strength of my soul, It cannot stir from the spot while my eyes are upon it.

Lithuania, my country! You are as good health; How much one should prize you, he only can tell, Who has lost you...

Adam Mickiewicz

Herod, God! - all young Poland 's given into Herod's hands. What do I see? Long white roads like stations of the cross, long roads unseen through ancient forests, through the snow, all roads leading North. There, there, to the far country, they float like rivers.

Adam Mickiewicz

For mum we're fly. What mum you don't know who am I? I am Józio. And this is my sister Rózia. Now we're fly in sky! There is better than mum. See how heads in ray. Clothes with lucifer light. And on my hand as butterfly airfoil in sky we have all what we want, every day other toy, where we go here is grass, where we touch here is a flower. But we have what we want, torture us boring and trepidation. Oh mum for Your children road to heaven has been closed! On Always!

Adam Mickiewicz

My heart stopped, my breast frozen, my lips and eyes barred. Still in the world, but not of the world. Here, yet already departed.

Adam Mickiewicz

So listen to them, heed them: Who never touch the earth, can never be in heaven.

Adam Mickiewicz

I and motherland are one. My name is Million, because for millions do I love and suffer agonies. (Adam Mickiewicz)
