The people here have a wonderful way with words (as humourously seen a few days ago), here is an example of one of their more famous authors, Elie Weisel who would go on to win the Nobel Prize.
Frienship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Elie Weisel
Mihai Eminescu is Romania's most beloved and famed poet and lyricist. He's even on their money. One of his more famous poems in English and then Romanian just because its a pretty language.
Mihai Eminescu "The Sleepy Birds"
All those sleepy birds
Now tired from flight
Hide among the leaves
Good-night!
Only the spring whispers
When the wood sleeps silently;
Even flowers in the gardens
Sleep peacefully!
Swans glide to their nest
Sheltering among the reeds
May angels guard your rest,
Sweet dreams!
Above a night of sorcery
Comes the moon's graceful light,
All is peace and harmony
Good-night!
Somnoroase păsărele...
Somnoroase păsărele
Pe la cuiburi se adună,
Se ascund în rămurele
-Noapte bună!
Doar izvoarele suspină,
Pe când codrul negru tace;
Dorm şi florile-n grădină
-Dormi în pace!
Trece lebăda pe ape
Între trestii să se culce
-Fie-ţi îngerii aproape,
Somnul dulce!
Peste-a nopţii feerie
Se ridică mândra lună,
Totu-i vis şi armonie
-Noapte bună!
