I Sing Of Arms And Of A Man:
his fate
Had Made Him Fugitive:
he was the first
to journey from the coasts of Troy as far
as Italy and the Lavinian shores
Across the lands and waters he was battered
beneath the violence of the high ones for
the savage Juno's unforgetting anger.

Has brought me what so long, I so desired,
It is too late,
I am too tired.

Now that I know that each star has its path, each bird is finally feathered and grown in the unbroken shell, each tree in the seed, each song in the life laid down - is the night sky any less strange; should my glance less follow the flight; should the pen shake less in my hand.

If — struggling and trouble-stricken —
I still try to do something and work
— as well as possible —
then it is in order that anybody shall be allowed
to do his work in freedom,
that he shall not be harmed, or suffer violence,
nor false charges be brought against him,
in order that
this little Hungary
shall one day become a real Homeland,
the country of its nation.
Benjámin László
