Woke up thinking about this poem by Miroslav Holub, who knew a few things about doing research under authoritarian regimes (trans Ian Milner)
Here too are dreaming landscapes, lunar, derelict. Here too are the masses, tillers of the soil. And cells, fighters Who lay down their lives for a song. Here too are cemeteries, fame and snow. And I hear murmuring, the revolt of immense estates.
