Juste a
nice piece of life...
...but
I hope there'll be a little bit more*,

roof does not prove that there is no fire in the chimney...>

Life is like a book. A fool leafs
it through without attention.
The wise man reads it deliberately because he knows
that he can read it only once.

forces had confiscated our home.

over it...) tells about these years.
