Muharem Bazdulj A Final Note Mate Glusac was ninety-six when he died. It is said that hee foretold his own death as well. He is buried near the Church of Saint Tekla in Danilovgrad. There is no marker on his grave. Instead, an enormous tree grows there, more than a three feet in diameter. Prince-bishop Petar II Petrovic Njegos and Ali-pasa Rizvanbegovic died in 1851. From a historical point of view they died at the same moment; like enemies exhausted from fighting or pairs of mythical unhappy lovers. The encyclopedias available to me at the moment mention neither Resulbegovic nor Wilkinson. However, the genius who wrote Die Welt Als Wille und Vorstellung in Second Volume points out the inadequacy of those encyclopedias by mentioning the very same Mister Wilkinson in a footnote. In so doing, Arthur Schopenhauer granted me a rare compliment. Because in the same footnote he quoted the London Times, and he pointed out even more clearly, more subtly and in more detail a strange and mysterious comfort mentioning, along with everything else, the sketches feu follet, calling of vain and lonely sensibilities in moments of happiness. Post Scriptum After this story was published for the first time, I read a book that mentions, among others, Bey Resulbegovic, who, I had come to think was a mythological character since I could not find his name anywhere. The book is entitled Crystal Bars, written by the man to whom A Knife with a Rosewood Handle is dedicated. Translated by Nikola Petkovic Edited by Andrew Wachtel 68
