    diejenigen, die über die glücklichen Zeiten weinen, denen sie in der Geschichte begegnen, erkennen an, was sie wollen; nicht die Linderung, sondern das Schweigen des Elends.

    ceux qui pleurent les périodes heureuses qu'ils rencontrent dans l'histoire reconnaissent ce qu'ils veulent ; pas le soulagement mais le silence de la misère.

    coloro che piangono per i periodi felici che incontrano nella storia riconoscono ciò che vogliono; non l'alleviamento ma il silenzio della miseria.
