Vergilius, Eclogae 10, 54
Zij zullen groeien, zoals ook jij, mijn liefde, zult groeien. [cf. Cats, Sinne- en minnebeelden] |

Vergilius, Eclogae 10, 54
They will grow, you, too, my love, will grow. [cf. Cats, Sinne- en minnebeelden] |
|
Gelukkige inkerving waardoor de ene tak de andere aanneemt en die van twee bomen er één maakt. Zo verbindt de liefde twee
geliefden aanéén: ze willen hetzelfde wel en niet. |
|
Happy ingrafting, by which one branch adopts the other and which makes two trees to become one. In the same way love joins
two lovers to be one, that both want and do not want the same things. |
