The proper punishment for the Hohenzollerns, and the Hapsburgs, and the Mecklenburgs, and the Muckendorfs, and all such puppets and princelings, is that they should be made to work; and not made to work in the glittering and glorious sense, as generals and chiefs of staff, and legislators, and land-barons, but in the plain and humble part of laborers looking for a job.

Stanislav Podhrázský (1920–1999) byl jako mnozí další v mládí silně ovlivněn surrealismem, zejména pak osobností Mikuláše Medka, záhy však přešel na vysoce autorskou, solitérní cestu.

Then suddenly, almost unexpectedly, in fact just as if done, so to speak, by machinery, the lights all over the theater, except on the stage, are extinguished. Absolute silence falls. Here and there is heard the...
