"Life elsewhere? ivot je jinde" is first of all a famous saying in "Paris Carnival" by French Symbolist poet Rimbaud, which was quoted by Milan Kundera. Original source:

On the red city wall

Throwing eerie light high into the sky.

In that wild and bright black continent,

under the starlight, the poet

seeks to gather the flowers sown by the perfect God.

The poet

lives elsewhere,

in the desert/ocean,

traversing his vast physical and spiritual adventure.

The ghost of the flood has just dissipated.
