Additional quotes by Adam Mickiewicz

Będę o to Pana Boga pytać,
On to wszystko zapisał, wszystko mnie opowie.

Ty Boże, ty naturo! dajcie posłuchanie.
Godna to was muzyka i godne śpiewanie.
Ja mistrz!
Ja mistrz wyciągam dłonie!
Wyciągam aż w niebiosa i kładę me dłonie
Na gwiazdach jak na szklannych harmoniki kręgach.

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