Zbigniew Herbert Quotes

Very Early On, Near The Beginning Of My Writing Life, I Came To Believe That I Had To Seize On Some Object Outside Of Literature. Writing As A Sylistic Exercise Seemed Barren To Me. Poetry As The Art Of The Word Made Me Yawn. I Also Understood That I Couldn't Sustain Myself Very Long On The Poems Of Others. I Had To Go Out From Myself And Literature, Look Around In The World And Lay Hold Of Other Spheres Of Reality.
