Czeslaw Milosz Quotes

When Everything Was Fine
And The Notion Of Sin Had Vanished
And The Earth Was Ready
In Universal Peace
To Consume And Rejoice
Without Creeds And Utopias,
I, For Unknown Reasons,
Surrounded By The Books
Of Prophets And Theologians,
Of Philosophers, Poets,
Searched For An Answer,
Scowling, Grimacing,
Waking Up At Night, Muttering At Dawn.
What Oppressed Me So Much
Was A Bit Shameful.
Talking Of It Aloud
Would Show Neither Tact Nor Prudence.
It Might Even Seem An Outrage
Against The Health Of Mankind ...
