Stucco I watch the walls follow it to where it inches to the curve of the only thing being touched in this room the colliding of a ceiling a lofty place I have come to know in the limits of what is allowed my dreams seem to stop there under conditions that do not fly I wish to be between the cracks that decorate the exterior but stucco has my wings |

Dream hard and dream full for such dreams shall set you free! Enjoyed the flight but I think the sky may fall after all!! Thanks for the smile!  |

FRAGMENT OF A GREEK VASE In the foreground you see the handsome body of a youth his chin leaning on the chest a knee bent hand like a dead branch he has closed his eyes renouncing even Eos her fingers thrust into the air her flowing hair and the lines of her dress form three circles of sorrow he has closed his eyes renouncing his copper armor the beautiful helmet decorated with blood and a black plume the broken shield and spear he has closed his eyes renouncing the world leaves droop in the silent air a branch trembles touched by a shadow of flying birds and only the cricket hidden in Memnon’s still living hair proclaims a convincing praise of life Zbigniew Herbert |
