I guarded leaves on the trees snow on my windowsill and water in the faucet. I'm already old like the lantern on the Charles Bridge. But sometimes I feel the threat. Tomorrow the shorthaired students of AMU will sit on the steps in front of the Artists' House -the Prague Spring begins and the doors will open-I'll gladly tum my eyes and stare at the ground. These young women are all one laughter, suddenly pulling their short skirts a little over their knees­They are so happy. What would the author of fugue composition have said at this moment in his silk coat and silvery wig as he hurried from the riverbank to the main entrance! Perhaps he can remember Magdalena, but he surely did not see these girls. And Mozart? Mozart would have smiled, ...

And before he could go to his seat
He could have composed a dance

Seifert, Jaroslav - Casting of Bells (Spirit That Moves Us, 1984)
