Love

Czeslaw Milosz | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
Love means to learn to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart,
Without knowing it, from various ills.
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend
~ Czeslaw Milosz from "Love" in NEW AND COLLECTED POEMS 1931-2001

I speak to you with silence like a cloud or a tree

Czeslaw Milosz | November 2004 (Vol. XVII, No. 10)

I swear, there is in me no wizardry of words.
I speak to you with silence like a cloud or a tree.

~ Czeslaw Milosz
