Words learned by rote a parrot may rehearse; but talking is not always to converse, not more distinct from harmony divine, the constant creaking of a country sign.

    ord lært av rote en papegøye kan øve på; men å snakke er ikke alltid å snakke, ikke mer distinkt fra harmoni guddommelig, det konstant knirkende av et landstegn.

    ווערטער געלערנט דורך ראָטע אַ פּאַפּוגייַ קען ריפּיטיד; אָבער גערעדט איז ניט שטענדיק צו שמועסן, ניט מער אַנדערש פון האַרמאָניע געטלעך, די קעסיידערדיק קריקינג פון אַ לאַנד צייכן.

    死記硬背鸚鵡學習的單詞可以排練;但說話並不總是交談,而不是與和諧神聖不同,不斷吱吱作響的國家標誌。
