Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
And through the blue heavens above us
The very clouds move on."

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

Die Liebe gibt nichts als sich selbst und nimmt nichts als von sich selbst.
Die Liebe besitzt nicht, noch will sie Besitz sein.
Denn der Liebe ist die Liebe genug.

Rakkaus antaa vain itsensä ja ottaa ainoastaan omastaan.
Rakkaus ei omista mitään eikä kukaan voi sitä omistaa.
Sillä rakkaudelle riittää rakkaus.

L'amour ne donne que de lui-même, et ne prend que de lui-même.
L'amour ne possède pas, ni ne veut être possédé.
Car l'amour suffit à l'amour.

Любовь дает лишь себя и берет лишь от себя.
Любовь ничем не владеет и не хочет, чтобы кто-нибудь владел ею,
ибо любовь довольствуется любовью.

Kärleken ger intet annat utom sig själv och tar intet utom från sig själv.
Kärleken äger intet och kan ej heller ägas.
Ty kärleken är allt för kärleken.

Ástin gefur ekkert nema sjálfa sig og þiggur ekkert nema sjálfa sig.
Ástin á engar eignir og verður aldrei eign,
því að ástin á sig sjálf og er sjálfri sér nóg.

[Khalil Gibran- On love/Über die Liebe/Rakkaudesta/L'amour/О любви/Om kärlek/um ástina]
