It is fitting that this paper relates to Hungary and the much loved River Tisza – steeped in history and a source of inspiration to poet and patriot alike. I stood there, silent, without stirring, As if my feet were rooted to the spot,<br>My soul intoxicated by a sweet, profound ecstasy Induced by nature’s eternal beauty. Oh nature, oh glorious nature! What language would dare compete with you?<br>How splendid you are! The more you are silent, The more you say, the more the beauty of your expression.
