by Nichita Stănescu (1933 - 1983)

Hieroglifa
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Ce singurătate
să nu înțelegi înțelesul
atunci când există înțeles.

Și ce singurătate
să fii orb pe lumina zilei,-
și surd, ce singurătate
in toiul cântecului.

Dar să nu-nțelegi
când nu există înțeles
și să fii orb la miezul nopții
și surd când liniștea-i desăvârșită,-
o, singurătate a singurătății!
