Poetical Me

Už zas trhat ve snách bledé lilie

už zas jíti do kavárny Slavie

už zas srkat každodenní černou kávu

už zas míti stesk a nachýlenou hlavu

už zas nespát už zas nemít záruky

už zas pálit vše co přijde do ruky

už zas slyšet tóny tlumeného pláče

už zas mít svůj stín hazardního hráče



Naše životy jsou jako noc a den

na shledanou hvězdy ptáci ústa žen

na shledanou smrti pod kvetoucím hlohem

na shledanou sbohem na shledanou sbohem

na shledanou dobrou noc a dobrý den

dobrou noc

sladký sen


Extract from the poem Edison by Vítězslav Nezval

One of the places I went to last weekend was also cafe Kavárna Slavia. Although it has become very touristic, I can still feel the magic of the place where poems were written, songs were composed, pictures were painted and the Czech history could be observed from its windows. Recommended by my friend Rene, I had the best pancakes in my life - with fresh figs, lemon ice-cream, maple syrup and chopped almonds for cca 4€. He had the classic version with cottage cheese and strawberries.
