" "Forget the suffering
You caused others.
Forget the suffering
Others caused you.
The waters run and run,
Springs sparkle and are done,
You walk the earth you are forgetting.
Sometimes you hear a distant refrain.
What does it mean, you ask, who is singing?
A childlike sun grows warm.
A grandson and a great-grandson are born.
You are led by the hand once again.
The names of the rivers remain with you.
How endless those rivers seem!
Your fields lie fallow,
The city towers are not as they were.
You stand at the threshold mute.

Additional quotes by Czesław Miłosz
Since poetry deals with the singular, not the general, it cannot - if it is good poetry - look at things of this earth other than as colorful, variegated, and exciting, and so, it cannot reduce life, with all its pain, horror, suffering, and ecstasy, to a unified tonality of boredom and complaint. By necessity poetry is therefore on the side of being and against nothingness.

TAKO MALO
Tako malo sam rekao,
Kratki dani.
Kratki dani,
Kratke noći,
Kratke godine.
Tako malo sam rekao,
Ne stigoh.
Moje srce se umorilo
Od ushićenja,
Očajanja,
Gorljivosti,
Nade.
Čeljust levijatana
Zatvarala se u meni.
Nag ležah na obalama
Bezljudnih ostrva.
Povuče me u ponor sa sobom
Beli kit sveta.
I sad ne znam
Šta je bilo istinsko.
(U Berkliju, 1969.)
