   • 1894, Gustaf Fröding, “Idealism och realism [Idealism and Realism]”, in Nya dikter [New Poems]:

     Nu är jag led vid tidens schism
     emellan jord och stjärnor.
     Vår idealism och realism
     de klyva [old present tense plural, usually klyver] våra hjärnor.
     
     Det ljugs, när porträtterat grus
     får namn av konst och fägring.
     En syn, som svävar skön och ljus
     i skyn, är sann som hägring.
     
     Men strunt är strunt och snus är snus,
     om ock i gyllne [gyllene] dosor,
     och rosor i ett sprucket krus
     är ändå alltid rosor.

     Now I am weary of the current [the time's] schism
     between earth and stars.
     Our idealism and realism
     they split our brains.
     
     People lie [it is lied], when portrayed dust [gravel, sometimes used figuratively like dust, especially in the past]
     gets called art and beauty ["gets name of" – archaic].
     A sight, that floats fair and bright
     in the sky, is true as a mirage.
     
     But nonsense is nonsense and snuff is snuff [fairly well-known line],
     if also in golden boxes [small boxes with a lid].
     And roses in a cracked jug
     are still always roses.
