Nichita Stanescu
I am nothing but
a blood stain
that speaks*
*Self Portrait by Nichita Stanescu

Mircea Cartarescu
I leave to others what my life has been so far
let others  believe in what I believed
let others love what I have loved
because I cannot anymore,  
cannot anymore, cannot*
*Self portrait in a lighter's flame by Mircea Cartarescu
