FRANCE PRESEREN (1800 - 1849)

A lawyer and freethinker, a bohemian, an alcoholic and an eternally indomitable spirit, Preseren brought Slovene poetry all the principle classical poetic forms ; he spiritually kindled the subalpine province with the fighting spirit of the European Romantics and thus, just as the great Romantics in other Slavic lands, articulated the national consciousness. A century and a half after its creation, his "Zdravljica" (The Toast) has become the national anthem of the Slovene State.

Extracts of The Toast :

God's blessing on all nations,

Who long and work for that bright day,

When o'er earth's habitations

No war, no strife shall hold its sway ;

Who long to see

That all men free

No more shall foes, but neighbours be.

(From "Discover Slovenia", Ministry of Information of the Republic of Slovenia, 1992)
