Enveya Quotes 

Can vei la lauzeta moverDe joi sas alas contra·l rai,Que s'oblid'e·s laissa chazerPer la doussor c'al cor li vai,Ai, tan grans enveya m'en veDe cui qu'eu veya jauzïon.

Can vei la lauzeta mover De joi sas alas contra·l rai, Que s'oblid'e·s laissa chazer Per la doussor c'al cor li vai, Ai, tan grans enveya m'en ve De cui qu'eu veya jauzïon.


— When I behold the skylark move in perfect joy towards its love the sun, when I behold the skylark, growing drunk with joy, forget the use of wings, so that it topples from the height of heavens, I envy the bird's fate.
— "Can vei la lauzeta mover", line 1; translation from James Branch Cabell The Cream of the Jest ([1917] 1972) p. 33.
