ABOUT ME

Ha ha Love fields like this one:D

PHILOSOPHY

"People are swayed by two great tyrants: hope and fear". Lucian (120-190 AD)

“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived.” Henry David Thoreau

Zbigniew Herbert - Do Marka Aurelego
(Prof. Henrykowi Elzenbergowi)

Dobranoc Marku lampę zgaś
i zamknij książkę Już nad głową
wznosi się srebrne larum gwiazd
to niebo mówi obcą mową
to barbarzyński okrzyk trwogi
którego nie zna twa łacina
to lęk odwieczny ciemny lęk
o kruchy ludzki ląd zaczyna

bić I zwycięży Słyszysz szum
to przypływ Zburzy twe litery
żywiołów niewstrzymany nurt
aż runą świata ściany cztery
cóż nam - na wietrze drżeć
i znów w popioły chuchać mącić eter
gryźć palce szukać próżnych słów
i wlec za sobą cień poległych

więc lepiej Marku spokój zdejm
i ponad ciemność podaj rękę
niech drży gdy bije w zmysłów pięć
jak w wątłą lirę ślepy wszechświat
zdradzi nas wszechświat astronomia
rachunek gwiazd i mądrość traw
i twoja wielkość zbyt ogromna
i mój bezradny Marku płacz.
