Czeslaw Milosz Quotes

Reality Calls For A Name, For Words, But It Is Unbearable, And If It Is Touched, If It Draws Very Close, The Poet's Mouth Cannot Even Utter A Complaint Of Job: All Art Proves To Be Nothing Compared With Action. Yet To Embrace Reality In Such A Manner That It Is Preserved In All Its Old Tangle Of Good And Evil, Of Despair And Hope, Is Possible Only Thanks To Distance, Only By Soaring Above It
but This In Turn Seems Then A Moral Treason.
