That's great, Dagege! So you were not tricked by "luring girls" in the 5th district (the innermost part of Pest) - newspapaers are full of these cases nowadays.

When I was at the army (as it was an obligation) I learnt most of his greatest poems by heart standing guard.

You picked the right site, there you can find all of his poems.

One of my personal favourites is "A Dunánál". The second verse (numbered as '2') is quite mystical... --- I don't know if you've seen his statue - it is made for this poem:

Maybe I am wrong... Not easy to translate poems, I guess. I simply don't feel in the Englsh version what I see in the original...

Interesting, for a long-long time I have not read his poems... All of a sudden it touched me...

ESZMÉLET (1934)

(...)
Vasútnál lakom. Erre sok
vonat jön-megy és el-elnézem,
hogy' szállnak fényes ablakok
a lengedező szösz-sötétben.
Igy iramlanak örök éjben
kivilágított nappalok
s én állok minden fülke-fényben,
én könyöklök és hallgatok.
