Quotes
Мирна као мрамор, хладна као сена,Ти се бледо тихо девојче што снева.Пусти песма других нека буде жена,Која по нечистим улицама пева.
Staidness of marble, coolness the shadow strews,Thou are a still, pale maid, all pondering;Let songs of others be as a woman, whoseWont it is in the unclean streets to sing.
"Поезија", st. 1; translated by Paul Selver, "My Poetry", Anthology of Modern Slavonic Literature in Prose and Verse (1919), p. 288
