Toga Quote by Jacques Prévert
““Nalio je kavu u šalicu Nalio je mlijeko u šalicu s kavom Stavio je šećer u kavu s mlijekom I žličicom sve promiješao Popio je kavu s mlijekom I odložio je šalicu Te bez ijedne riječi zapalio je cigaretu Okrenuo se Povukao je dim Sasuo je pepeo u pepeljaru i ne rekavši ništa I ne pogledavši me ustao je stavio je šešir na glavu uzeo je svoj kišni ogrtač Jer je padala kiša I onda je otišao po kiši Bez ijedne riječi I ne pogledavši me A ja sam spustila glavu među ruke i zaplakala.””
