Quotes by Nichita Stănescu (?)

“Spune-mi, daca te-as prinde-ntr-o zi
si ti-as saruta talpa piciorului,
nu-i asa ca ai schiopata putin, dupa aceea,
de teama sa nu-mi strivesti sarutul?”
― Nichita Stănescu, O viziune a sentimentelor

“Tell me, if I caught you one day
And kissed the sole of your foot,
Wouldn't you limp a little then,
Affraid to crush my kiss?...”
― Nichita Stanescu
