Be Still and Listen
Oćuti tišinu
I am not here to keep the silenceof our glances.I have fed my dreams with distances;it was not tears that startled me,but silences that speak aloud...
— Vera BasorTranslated from the Serbian.

Ja nisam ovdje da oćutim tišinunaših pogleda.Snove sam nahranila daljinama,nisu me trgle suze,već tišine što glasno zbore...
