Content and physical description
ContentOtakar Aleš Kukla offers his condolences to Charlotte Martinů. Although the two met at the Polička Museum, he did not have the opportunity to say a few heartfelt words to her. Her arrival in Polička was a pleasant surprise for everyone. She doesn't know if she enjoyed her stay in Polička, but the people of Polička are full of fond memories of the meeting. It is possible that she met some self-centered people reminiscent of the characters in Gabriel Chavalier's Cloche Merle. But he assures her that there are good people in Polička. Many of them are sad that they did not manage to meet her during her visit. When BM was ill, they used to meet at the museum, and when he died, it affected them very much. They put up photos of him with black tape, short texts and poems and possibly excerpts of his work. So on behalf of these people, the OAK thanks them for visiting the ChM. There have been many articles about BM being dead. But he doesn't think so, he thinks BM is still alive.
