  2. ...He also writes of real, historical figures like Camus who were particularly influential during his formative years, and of broader topics such as "The City," "Unhappiness," and "Money." Another fascinating entry in Milosz's bold opus, Milosz's ABCs is an engaging tribute to a brilliant mind."

  3. From Macmillan: "The ABC book is a polish genre-a loose form related to a hypertext novel-composed of short, alphabetically arranged entries. In Milosz's conception, the ABC book becomes a sort of autobiographical reference book, combining entries concerning characters from his earlier work with references to some of his memory poems. ...

  4. Yesterday I bought a copy of Czesław Miłosz's _Miłosz's ABC's_.

    The alphabet as a device was also featured in Rep. Hakeem Jeffreies' speech at 1:10 this morning.

    An interesting coincidence.

  5. For those need it: “Encounter” by Czesław Miłosz

    We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
    A red wing rose in the darkness.

    And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
    One of us pointed to it with his hand.

    That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
    Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

    O my love, where are they, where are they going
    The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
    I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

    "a tendency to make fun of all power... enables [Poles] to dissolve every political system from the inside"- Miłosz in Native Realm

    Bene quiescas
    Sleep well

    a dbalość o naukę jest miłość
    And the concern for learning is love

    LO QUE ERA GRANDE

    Lo que era grande pequeño resultó.
    Los reinos palidecían cual cobre cubierto de nieve.

    Lo que deslumbró ya no deslumbra más.
    Las tierras celestes ruedan y lucen.

    A la orilla del río, tendido en la hierba,
    como hace mucho, mucho, suelto barquitos de corteza.

    DESPEDIDA

    Rechazar. Rechazar todo. No, es eso.
    No voy a resucitar nada ni regresar a lo pasado.

    POBRE POETA

    El primer movimiento es cantar.
    La voz libre que llena las montañas y los valles.
    El primer movimiento es alegría.
    Pero ella es arrebatada.
