  • And Yet the Books
By Czeslaw MiloszAnd yet the books will be there on the shelves, separate beings, That appeared once, still wet As shining chestnuts under a tree in autumn, And, touched, coddled, began to live In spite of fires on the horizon, castles blown up, Tribes on the march, planets in motion.
  • So much more durable
Than we are, whose frail warmth Cools down with memory, disperses, perishes.
  • Yet the books will be there on the shelves, well born,
Derived from people, but also from radiance, heights.
