"I had to walk over dead bodies every day during the German occupation, and there were horse-drawn wagons, like in the Middle Ages, filled with bodies; but even at that point, great poetry was produced, to help people cope," he told SETimes.
„Morao sam da hodam preko mrtvih tela svakog dana tokom nemačke okupacije, a konjska kola su, kao u Srednjem veku, bila natovarena telima; ali, čak i u tom trenutku nastajala je odlična poezija, da bi se pomoglo ljudima da se izbore sa tim“, rekao je on za SETimes.
