The moving story with its beautiful language and the poetry full of images may work as a cure against the world obsessed with production and serve as a reminder of the human dimension in each one of us. We can say that the reader perceives the amazing work with all his senses, feels  the cold, hears the sounds, sees the images,  is fearful, feels responsibility, reads the poem at one sitting. The Lešany Crib impresses by the power of simplicity and humanity emerging from the poetry of Hrubín.
“I believe in Hrubín´s bewitching  text full of emotions (that is inspiring for the dancers) with its rich and intense ancient story (inspiring for the audience), text relating to the pre-Christian and Christian roots of the European culture at the moment of their retrieval and need for their remembering.”  Vladimír Javorský
The Lešany Crib tells us about what is it that holds Marie on the “blue globe” though she has been touching it with one thumb only, it is a performance searching under the shelter of apparitions, a performance about what can be achieved with one poem /one snowflake/.
“Josef Padevět and his wife Marie have been walking. Marie does not want to surrender the bundle made of a quilt and covered with a coat that she has been holding in her arms. In it, blood is running through the darkness of the little body that, with every beat of its heart, has been approaching the moment when it realizes itself and becomes enchanted by the immense and amazing life with the horrors of wars, dreams and love, …“ František Hrubín, Lešanské jesličky
