Pogled Quote by Dobriša Cesarić

“U tvojim očima kadikad Tajanstven jedan pogled sine. Al' tek što sine već i mine. Što skriva u svom čudnom sjaju Taj odraz bogate dubine? Da l' bol, što neće da se smiri? Ne znam, gonetam uzaman. Il' bljeskom tuge iz njeg viri Nesretni, davni neki dan? Ili je san, duboko snivan, Nikad neostvaren…” quote by Dobriša Cesarić
