    Those who knew
    what was going on here
    must give way to
    those who know little.
    And less than little.
    And finally as little as nothing.
    In the grass which has overgrown
    causes and effects,
    someone must be stretched out,
    blade of grass in his mouth,
    gazing at the clouds.

    (Nobel Prize winning Polish poet)

    THE END AND THE BEGINNING
    by Wisława Szymborska

    After every war
    someone has to clean up.
    Things won’t
    straighten themselves up, after all.
    Someone has to push the rubble
    to the sides of the road,
    so the corpse-laden wagons
    can pass.
    Someone has to get mired
    in scum and ashes,
    sofa-springs,
    splintered glass,
    and bloody rags.
    Someone must drag in a girder
    to prop up a wall.
    Someone must glaze a window,
    rehang a door.

    CONVERSATION WITH A STONE

    I knock at the stone's front door. "It's only me, let me come in. I want to enter your insides, have a look round, breathe my fill of you." "Go away," says the stone. "I'm shut tight. Even if you break me to pieces, we'll all still be closed. You can grind us to sand, we still won't let you in."

    How can we speak of any semblance of order
    when we can’t rearrange the stars
    to know which one shines for whom?

    Not to mention the reprehensible spreading of fog!
    Or the dusting of the steppe over its entire range
    as though it weren’t split in two!
    Or voices carried over accommodating air waves:
    summoning squeals and suggestive gurgles!

    Only what’s human can be truly alien.
    The rest is mixed forest, undermining moles, and wind.

    Out of countless insects I will single out the ant,
    who, between the guard’s left and right boots,
    feels unobliged to answer questions of origin and destination.

    If only this whole mess could be seen at once in detail
    on ever continent!
    Isn’t that a privet on the opposite bank
    smuggling its hundred-thousandth leaf across the river?
    Who else but the squid, brazenly long-armed,
    would violate the sacred territorial waters?

  6. Psalm

    How leaky are the borders of man-made states!
    How many clouds float over them scot-free,
    how much desert sand sifts from country to country,
    how many mountain pebbles roll onto foreign turf
    in provocative leaps!

    Need I cite each and every bird as it flies,
    or alights, as now, on the lowered gate?
    Even if it be a sparrow—its tail is abroad,
    thought its beak is still home. As if that weren’t enough—it keeps fidgeting!

  7. “Soy una pastilla tranquilizante.
    Hago efecto en casa,
    también en la oficina,
    me siento en los exámenes,
    me presento en el juicio,
    pego cuidadosamente los cacharritos rotos;
    tómame,
    disuélveme bajo la lengua,
    trágame,
    bébeme con agua.

    Sé qué hacer con la desgracia,
    cómo aguantar una mala noticia,
    sé atenuar la injusticia,
    sé cómo iluminar la carencia de Dios,
    combinar con el rostro un sombrero de luto.
    A qué esperas:
    confía en la misericordia química.

  11. Quando pronuncio la parola futuro,
    la prima sillaba già va nel passato.
    Quando pronuncio la parola silenzio,
    lo distruggo.

    Quando pronuncio la parola niente,
    creo qualche cosa che non entra in alcun nulla.

  12. "La poesia –
    ma cos’è mai la poesia?
    (...) non lo so e mi aggrappo a questo come alla salvezza di un corrimano.
    Con uno sguardo mi ha resa più bella, e io questa bellezza l’ho fatta mia. Felice, ho inghiottito una stella.
    Ho lasciato che mi immaginasse a somiglianza del mio riflesso nei suoi occhi. Io ballo, io ballo
    nel battito di ali improvvise".

    Il #2luglio 1923 nasceva #WisławaSzymborska, poetessa premiata con il Nobel per la letteratura nel 1996

  13. Wisława Szymborska | Velada literaria [de «Sal» 1962]
    “Musa, no ser un púgil es como no ser nadie.
    Nos escamoteaste un público vocinglero.
    En la sala hay una docena de personas,
    es hora de comenzar.
    La mitad vino por que llueve,
    los demás son parientes. Musa.”[...] seguir leyendo en: sites.google.com/site/escritor
