   • 2021 [2017], Antoine Cassar, Erbgħin Jum, 2^nd edition, Malta: Ede Books:

     Bl-istess libsa vjola, tikxifli ħobbok
     lewn l-ewwel ftira ma’ ħjiel iż-żerniq,
     bl-istess sandli, difrejk ħomor daqs qalbi,
     u xagħrek immewweġ jofrogħ fir-riħ.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)
