Description
"Who daresstand still, eyes closed,
at the nadir,
at the point where
there will always be a last flailing wave,
a roof,
a beautiful face, or even
a single hand, nod, movement of the hand?"
Written by János Pilinszky - hungarian poet

Much appreciated, Aristide
Here it is in Hungarian:
"Ki mer
csukott szemmel megállani
ama mélyponton,
ott, ahol
mindíg akad egy utolsó legyintés,
háztető,
gyönyörü arc, vagy akár
egyetlen kéz, fejbólintás, kézmozdulat?"
