...spirits together, and there I think: yeah, there were great men in Poland once, but today there aren't any. I'm a little guy, though some people think that I am great. But nobody will tell me I was a swine in my day. Nobody will ever spit at my children. Therefore I will persevere. And the church helps me in this.
