Karel Hynek Mácha,
The Soul Of A Century — A dream of Praha
(1943)
“ Lifeless, deathlike stands the ancient city, Like a wasted grave now Praha stands, Like the grave of a nation’s former splendor, A nation’s grave bedecked with blooming flowers. Speeding Labe and Vltava’s waters, Blend their voices like a distant bugle, As they chant the nation’s dirge of sorrow.
