Kde domov můj
'Where is my home,' the wistful patriotic song (from J. K. Tyl's 1834 play Fidlovačka, music by František Škroup) that became the Czech anthem; here half-hummed by a young quarryman.

- Two Stories of Prague §43 Kde domov můj
'Where is my home,' the tender patriotic song from Tyl's play Fidlovačka (1834), later the Czech national anthem; that a quarryman half-hums it and stops for fear of the dust is Bohusch's whole argument in miniature.
