pena ni gloria


Explanation:
A moment's appreciation es un momento que alguien se toma para apreciar las bondades de algo. Cuando algo se va en el olvido sin ese momento de apreciación, en español solemos decir que se fue sin pena ni gloria.

Example sentence(s):
  • This beautiful sunset deserves a moment\'s appreciation.
