Ut pictura, poesis: erit, quae, si propius stes, Te capiat…
““Ut pictura, poesis: erit, quae, si propius stes, Te capiat magis, et quaedam, si longius abstes: Haec amat obscurum: volet haec sub luce videri, Iudicis argutum quae non formidat acumen: Haec placuit semel, haec decies repetita placebit. Poezia i perngjet piktures: njera te terheq me teper nga afer, kurse tjetra prej se largu; kjo e do erresiren, ajo do te shikohet ne drite, sepse aspak nuk frikesohet nga shikimi i kritikut, njera do te pelqehet nje here, kurse tjetra ne vijim dhjete here.””
