Gift - Czeslaw Milosz

A Song on the End of the World by Czeslaw Milosz

The Nobel Prize in Literature 1980 was awarded to Czesław Miłosz "who with uncompromising clear-sightedness voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts"

translation by Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan

Written in Paris in the early 1950s, this book created instant controversy in its analysis of modern society that had allowed itself to be hypnotized by socio-political doctrines, and to accept totalitarian terror on the strength of a hypothetical future.

One of my favorite poets, Mr. Czesław Miłosz. I got pic from here: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Czeslaw-Milosz-posters/2567793

The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them.
