The Jewish cemetery experience is spot on, particularly in small towns or larger villages. They’re hard to find! Meanwhile, Janko Kral the writer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janko_Kr%C3%A1%C4%BE) is surely chuckling in his grave at the translation. King Johnny…cute!
Thanks, Peter —
Yes, I love the Slovak custom of naming so many streets (and parks and student dormitories) after writers and poets!
I should have known better, but some such poetic language mistakes I am happy to make.
(There is also something beautifully poetic about trash cans all through town painted with the names of poets and novelists…)
