- Pochopil jsem to jako kluk, když jsem poprvé olizoval kapičky a doušky kalného burčáku, kterému se od té doby nevyrovnalo žádné pití, žádná tekutina, možná mateřské mléko, jehož chuť jsem si už ale nepamatoval.
- I understood it as a small boy, when for the first time I licked little drops and sips of turbid Federweisser, which no drink, no liquid could have equalled since that time, maybe just mother's milk, the taste of which I did not remember.
