Additional quotes by Czesław Miłosz

Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet Yet is not a prophet, for he's much too busy, Repeats while he binds his tomatoes: No other end of the world will there be, No other end of the world will there be.

I knew that I would speak in the language of the vanquished No more durable than old customs, family rituals, Christmas tinsel, and once a year the hilarity of carols.

The history of my stupidity would fill many volumes.

On the day the world ends A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net. - Czesław Miłosz
