Cinta Quote by Sapardi Djoko Damono
““SEMENTRA KITA SALING BERBISIK Sementara kita saling berbisik Untuk lebih lama tinggal Pada debu, cinta yang tinggal berupa Bunga kertas dan lintasan angka-angla Ketika kita saling berbisik Di luar semakin sengit malam hari Memadamkan bekas-bekas telapak kaki, menyekap sisa-sisa unggun api Sebelum fajar. Ada yang masih bersikeras abadi. (1966)””
