Długa to jeszcze droga, ale wiele zdaje się wskazywać na to, że dzień dzisiejszy jest już jej początkiem. Czy ta zła wróżba się spełni? Czy zagrożenie to potwierdzają — jak twierdziła kiedyś Papusza — gwiazdy z dyszla Cygańskiego Wozu? Nie wiem. Wiem tylko, że odwieczne dzieje cygańskie stanowią jedno z najbardziej nieprawdopodobnych zjawisk wśród ludów Europy. I że nie ma żadnych powodów, aby ich dalszy ciąg miał odstąpić od zasady...
