Poetry Quote by Luko Paljetak
““Ni jedan javni trg Imenom moga oca nikad se neće zvati Ni jedan javni trg, ja to znam, on je samo Parkete postavljao, u sobe, kuće, vile I sale, ondje gdje bi pozvali ga, a zbilja Svugdje pozivali su baš njega da on to Učini jer je bio odličan majstor; neće, Ja to znam, nikad nitko imenom moga oca Ni jedan javni trg nazvati, ali kad bi Spojili sve te sobe i hodnike i sale Koje parketima je obložio, taj trg Bio bi veći nego Crveni trg i Trg Nebeskog mira skupa, i Žrtava fašizma I Stradun, ipak nitko ni jedan javni trg Nikad neće nazvati imenom moga oca, A ja sam njegov sin””
