    Worte sind wie Blätter, und wo sie am meisten reich sind, findet man selten Sinnesfrüchte darunter.

    Οι λέξεις είναι σαν φύλλα και όπου αφθονούν, σπάνια βρίσκεται πολύς καρπός αίσθησης.

    las palabras son como hojas y donde abundan más, rara vez se encuentra mucho fruto de sentido debajo.

    کلمات مانند برگها هستند و در جایی که بیشتر آنها وجود دارد ، میوه بسیار کمی که در زیر وجود دارد به ندرت یافت می شود.

    les mots sont comme des feuilles et là où ils abondent le plus, on trouve rarement beaucoup de fruits de sens en dessous.

    शब्द पत्तों की तरह होते हैं और जहाँ वे सबसे अधिक लटके होते हैं, बहुत नीचे का भाव बहुत कम पाया जाता है।

    le parole sono come foglie e dove abbondano di più si trova raramente molto frutto del senso.

    言葉は葉のようなものであり、それらが最も豊富にある場所では、下にある感覚の多くの実がめったに見つかりません。

    woorden zijn als bladeren en waar ze het meest in overvloed aanwezig zijn, wordt zelden veel zintuiglijke vrucht gevonden.

    слова подобны листьям, и там, где их больше всего, редко можно найти много плодов смысла.

    sözcükler yapraklar gibidir ve en çok bulundukları yerde, altında pek çok anlam meyvesi nadiren bulunur.
