Actually I am finding this as a favour to my Polish teacher. She said she
would be very "wdziczna" if I could find out for her. I did of course turn
to DLC first, and whilst helpful as ever, the fact that many of his books
were still packed away following his move meant that the last line couldn't
be translated. So I am turning to a wider group.
