@gastarbajterica I love how this is echoed in Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World” with “wild strawberries” and the music that “flared” at a remembered concert.

Try to Praise the Mutilated World

Try to praise the mutilated world. Praise the mutilated world and the gray feather a thrush lost, and the gentle light that strays and vanishes and returns.

Self-Portrait - Between the computer, a pencil, and a typewriter

"God, give us a long winter

and quiet music, and patient mouths,

and a little pride -- before

our age ends.

Give us astonishment

and a flame, high, bright."

A Flame
