    • Asi najznámejší zo všetkých zákonov je Murphyho zákon. Tróni nad všetkými ostatnými ako nežiaduci hosť. Nech už sa pohybujeme v akejkoľvek oblasti, zakaždým sa niečím pripomenie, podrazí, zdrží, znechutí. Čím viac sa usilujeme, tým horšie pre nás. Takých zákonov, ako sú Murphyho, je však, samozrejme, viac. Napríklad: Keď raz odbočíme nesprávnym smerom, potom to už robíme sústavne. Alebo: Ľudia, ktorí nosia klobúky, oplešivejú. Ale čo ak je všetko inak? Čo ak klobúky nosia plešiví ľudia, pretože im je zima na hlavu? Naivný vedec však neverí, že na hlavu môže byť zima. (On však má, samozrejme, husté vlasy.) Má aj hmlistú predstavu, že to, čo sa zakrýva, zvyčajne hynie. Rastliny a zvieratá trpia, tak prečo nie aj vlasy? Klobúk dolu pred naivným vedcom!

      The collection features poems from two authors separated by two centuries, showcasing diverse styles and influences. The first group, penned by William Clark during the Corps of Discovery expedition (1804-1806), reflects the historical and exploratory spirit of early America. In contrast, the second group, attributed to an anonymous writer from Portland (2017-2019), captures contemporary themes and perspectives. Together, they offer a unique juxtaposition of time, temperament, and purpose in the poetic landscape of Oregon.
