A night with you - this is one thing that works like hashish,
Only one thing you can believe in unconsciously.
And I don't know if there is love apart from your body
And I know you don't love me, that you will forget about me.

— Jan Lechoń

More quotes by Jan Lechoń

And in spring - let me see spring, not Poland.

You ask what is the most important thing in my life,
I'll tell you: death and love - both.

I know now: it's as bright as the sun in the sky,
And the heart must die under heavy mourning,
Because I will never take you to myself for eternity.
You will never be me and I will never be you.

I feel very bad today, I feel very sad,
My thoughts are withered, sick, like flowers on a grave,
Outside the windows, the sky hangs like a gray canvas.
I can't love you or think about you today.

What to do? I have to get drunk on a bottle of ambrosia,
What's left of my youthful banquets.
I leave with a rose in my hand, with the moon under my armpit,
And I leave the rest for new poets.
