Absolutely beautiful.I found the poetry of Mihai Eminescu while looking through the profiles at king.com games.One of the gamers is Romanian.I absolutely love all of his poetry and he very well deserves his recognition.I love the way he kept the metered rhyme all the way through and the lesson and moral taught in the poem is like reading a fairy -tale.He will always be one of my favorites.
