IN CASE IF ONLY ONE THING IS MISSING – NOTHING EXISTS! - PLATON
IN CASE IF "THE SMALL MONTMARTRE OF BITOLA" WAS MISSING, THE MACEDONIAN CULTURE WOULD BE VERY POOR.
THE EYE IS A GUARDIAN OF THE BODY, THE EYE LAST GO TO SLEEP. IT’S OPEN ONLY WHEN OTHERS ORGANS ARE CLOSED.
THE TEAR IS ANOTHER THING, SHE ABANDON THE BODY, BUT THE EYE NEVER.MY EYE WANTS TO SEE "THE SMALL MONTMARTRE OF BITOLA" ALWAYS IN JOY AND FOLLOWING SUCCESSES!
