lituani.comABOUT US

We are people united in our love of Lithuania. In spirit with generations of Lithuanians who came before us. Through years even centuries of occupations by foreign powers -- never for better only for worse -- the soul of this beautiful land has survived intact. Here we will be happy to share with you some moments of why we love Lithuania.



Antanas Gustaitis (1907 - 1990)


PATIENCE


Youthful laugh. Cantilena.

Girls are dancing in a circle,

And I, under the feet, under the ground –

Lying, listening in silence.


Enemies tasting my wine,

Friends mocking my lines,

Foreboding even onto my ribs –

Lying, listening in silence.


And when hot young (Russian) Naste

Sits with a man among the flowers,

I wish I could bite them through the grass –

I lie oppressed in silence.
