Přemysl and Libuše

The legend about Libuše (Slavic princess) says that Libuše saw new city in her vision and she should say the prophetic sentence: "I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars." She spoke about Praha.
So I can´t imagine better symbol for my new blog about Praha. This picture shows the Myslbek´s statue of prince Přemysl and his wife Libuše.

Legenda o Libuši (slovanské kněžně) říká, že Libuše viděla ve své vizi nové město a měla o něm říct: "Vidím město veliké, jehož sláva hvězd se bude dotýkat." Mluvila o Praze.
Takže si nedovedu představit lepší symbol pro blog o Praze. Na tomto obrázku je socha knížete Přemysla s jeho ženou Libuší od Myslbeka.
