" I never dreamed the sea so deep,

The earth so dark; so long my sleep,

I have become another child.

I wake to see the world go wild. "

Allen Ginsberg in Prague, 1965. In May 1965, Allen Ginsberg, the American Beat poet, was elected "King of May" during the student festivities known as Majáles in Prague. This event, which celebrated spring and mocked authority, was a brief revival during a period of de-Stalinization in Czechoslovakia. Ginsberg's time in Prague was short-lived, as he was later expelled by the Police and put on a plane to London. He was considered a subversive figure by the authorities due to his discussions on the sexual revolution, consciousness expansion, and his poetic and philosophical influences. Despite the expulsion, Ginsberg's visit and his poem "Kral Majales" (King of May), written during the flight, became symbolic of resistance against the regime and solidarity with students.
