"...That I fell in love up to my ears with Jakub Deml, will be understood by anyone who reads the first page of 'Forgotten Light'. The reader will not take his eyes off before he reads to the end; and then he will sigh terribly. But a thousand times more terribly will the one who tries to write prose sigh, sigh with healthy envy over the uniqueness of 'Forgotten Light,' in which Deml in such a small space is able to unleash all forms of writing, from the anecdote to the blustery blue lyric of Marian worship..."
