📜 Poetry

The most famous lines of Nguyễn Du's Tale of Kiều

1 Young grass green to the horizon; / on the pear branch, a few white blossoms.
2 Living through a time when seas turn into mulberry fields, / what one sees breaks the heart.
3 In the Ngưng Bích tower her spring is locked away; / distant hills and the nearby moon keep her company.

📜 Poetry

The most famous lines of Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross

1 I live without living in myself, / and I hope for so high a life / that I die because I do not die.
2 Let nothing disturb you, / let nothing frighten you, / all things pass, / God does not change; / patience obtains all things… / God alone suffices.
3 One dark night, / fired with love's urgent longings, / oh, happy chance!, / I went out unseen, / my house being now all stilled.
