It proclaims the earnest endeavour of the Bohemian nation to win an honourable place on the large wrestling-field of civilized European nations.
And the time is not far, when the beauties of the „Hundred-towered“ Mother Prague will be better appreciated by those who know how to make their way to all that is beautiful and noble, even, into distant countries lying outside the routes of every day travellers.
Then the old prophecy of the Bohemian Mythical Princess Libuša will be fulfilled, who seeing in her mental vision the future Prague proclaimed:
„I see a grand town, the fame of which
reaches to the skies!“
