In a modern poem, I hope ... I hope ... I hope. ..........................................................................................................................................................
Petofi's "I would like to be a torrent: I would like to be a torrent, a small river between mountains, flowing over rugged roads and rocks … as long as my lover is a small fish, swimming happily in my waves. I would like to be a barren forest, on both sides of the river, bravely fighting against the wind … as long as my lover is a bird, nesting and singing in my dense branches. I would like to be a ruin, on a steep rock, this silent destruction does not make me feel depressed … as long as my lover is a green ivy, climbing up and down my desolate forehead intimately. I would like to be a thatched cottage, at the bottom of a deep valley, at the top of a thatched cottage, to be destroyed by wind and rain ... as long as my lover is a lovely flame, it will slowly twinkle happily in my stove. I would like to be a cloud, a gray broken flag, lazily floating around in the vast sky, as long as my lover is a coral sunset glow, blooming brilliantly beside my pale face.
