“You [Chopin] have in your fingers an orchestra of butterflies.”

I weave them into rainbows, harmonies. I feel immortality! I create immortality!

The nectar of life is sweet only when shared with others.

Then shoulder to shoulder! Let us engirdle the little circle of the earth with the chains that bind us to each other.

To one end let us aim our thoughts, and to one end let us aim our souls. Hail, dawn of liberty, behind thee is the redeeming sun.

I lay my hands upon the stars, as on the crystal wheels of the harmonica. Now fast, now slow, as my soul wills, I turn the stars.

Whoever comes to me, will be free and equal, because I am freedom.

Now my soul is incarnate in my country

My body has swallowed her soul, And I and my country are one. My name is million, for I love and suffer for millions.

I am the master! I stretch forth my hands, even to the skies!
