English term

Must business thee from hence remove

English to Romanian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
In the face of this, the narcotic many people turn to is busyness. Busyness has become a welcome distraction to the ordinariness of everyday life. One of the seventeenth-century English poets, George Herbert, challenges us on this issue:

***Must business thee from hence remove?***
Oh, that’s the worst disease of love!
The poor, the foul, the false, love can
Admit, but not the busied man.

Business or busyness is the greatest distraction from all the areas of our lives: from the cultivation of friendships, from family life, from the matters of the heart.

Să te îndepărteze trebuie, de toate-acestea, grijile lumeşti?

O posibilitate.

Celelalte versuri:
O, asta-i boala cea mai rea a dragostei!
Pe prost, urât, pe-un prefăcut, iubirea-i poate
Admite, dar nu pe omul ocupat.
