| Veritas |
 |
| Lord ! The necessity of a glass of wine ... And contemplation, the peaks of poetry - But why, I wonder, do I sigh again : ... As everything, perhaps, is quick sorcery. |
| 1881-1957 |

| Veritas |
| Doamne ! necesitatea unui vin ... Si-a gandului culmi de poezie - Oare pentru ce, mai mult, acest suspin : ... Ca totul, poate, e-o repede magie. |
| Ca in tacerea grava-a unui dom, Viata pare-a trece fara nici un sens ... Si acele asteptari a vietii de om, - ... Sana mens ! |
 |
 |
| For in the solemn silence of a dome, It seems that life passes with no sense ... And these expectations in the life of man, - ... Sana mens ! |
