Treny Quotes

“[...] But then,
What is not vain, by God, in lives of men?
All is in vain! We play at blind man's buff
Until hard edges break into out path.
Man life's is error. Where, then, is relief?
In shedding tears or wrestling down my grief?”
― Jan Kochanowski, Treny

“O cattiva Proserpina, come puoi tollerare
che invano sian versate tante lacrime amare?...”
― Jan Kochanowski, Treny

“O zła Persefono,
Mogłażeś tak wielu łzam dać upłynać płono?”
― Jan Kochanowski, Treny
