Quotes

Mi seaf imfnüd se doach te stoac păłoa mosrel,
Tes tsor hălpduth șăm'it — lăta, chnet fa mi yem!
Roat ef Dămath fi loc, șicleap yaf imhăcwel;
Doar bang, yăsnar, tămnüth, mi sngom se chwep păhem.

As summer days trudge on, and meet the winter soil,
And all hope melts to naught — light shines from far away.
Let Fortune turn her wheel, oblivious to our toil;
we skillful ones work hard, and seek the light of day.
