Toga Quote by Desanka Maksimović
““OPOMENA Čuj, reći ću ti svoju tajnu: ne ostavljaj me nikad samu kad neko svira. Mogu mi se učiniti duboke i meke oči neke sasvim obične. Može mi se učiniti da tonem u zvuke, pa ću ruke svakom pružiti. Može mi se učiniti lepo i slatko voleti kratko za jedan dan. Ili mogu kom reći u tome času čudesno sjajnu, predragu mi tajnu koliko te volim. O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu kad neko svira. Učiniće mi se: negde u šumi ponovo sve moje suze teku kroz samonikle neke česme. Učiniće mi se: crn leptir jedan po teškoj vodi krilom šara što nekad neko reći mi ne sme. Učiniće mi se: negde kroz tamu neko peva i gorkim cvetom krvavog srca u ranu dira. O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu, nikad samu, kad neko svira.””
