Additional quotes by Wisława Szymborska
I am who I am.
A coincidence no less unthinkable
than any other.
I could have had different
ancestors, after all.
I could have fluttered
from another nest
or crawled bescaled
from under another tree.
Nature's wardrobe
holds a fair supply of costumes:
spider, seagull, field mouse.
Each fits perfectly right off
and is dutifully worn
into shreds.
