| snježne pahulje mladenka donosi u crkvu pred oltar |
the bride brings snowflakes to the altar |
zubato sunce na staklu prozora njuši ljubičice |
cold winter sun . . . sniffing african violets on the window sill |
| jutarnji vlak skitnica ispod mosta s mislima u njemu |
a tramp day dreaming train rides |
| izlog trgovine sunce lašti nove muške cipele |
storefront . . . sunlight polishing a man shoes |
olujni vjetar šešir i prazna mreža sami u barci |
stormy wind . . . a hat and an empty net in the boat |
