The 7th stanza of his poem Zdravljica is the national anthem of Slovenia and in English it goes like this:
God's blessing on all nations,
Who long and work for that bright day,
When o'er earth's habitations
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see,
That all men free,
No more shall foes, but neighbours be.
I spent a cultural weekend as well. Went to the opera to see Puccini's Tosca and really enjoyed it. And I did this little painting from a reference I was wishing to paint from for some time.

Keep warm and happy!

Jona, un acquerello delizioso, dipinto con cura e con una perfetta prospettiva che dona una grande profondità al paesaggio.
Grazie per l'informazione sul poeta France Preseren e sulle sue belle parole dell'inno nazionale Sloveno. Ciao. Tito.
The softness of this watercolor is very pleasing to the eye. and the Hymn is beautiful.
