Parabase

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: HUN

Freudig war vor vielen Jahren,
Eifrig so der Geist bestrebt,
Zu erforschen, zu erfahren,
Wie Natur im Schaffen lebt.
Und es ist das ewig Eine,
Das sich vielfach offenbart.
Klein das Große, groß das Kleine,
Alles nach der eignen Art.
Immer wechselnd, fest sich haltend,
Nah und fern und fern und nah;
So gestaltend, umgestaltend -
Zum Erstaunen bin ich da.

Parabázis

Language: Hungarian (Magyar) after the German (Deutsch)

Jó időben és kedéllyel
harcra késztetett eszem,
hogy kilessem és megértsem,
bölcs Natúra mint teremt.
És az ős örökvaló Egy
rendre megnyilatkozott:
Mind egyéni lábakon megy;
nagy parány, piciny nagyok;
s változó de változatlan
körbe-körben és amott
létrehozva s új alakban –
megcsodálni én vagyok.
