Polish poetry
Cyprian Kamil Norwid - poems



FINIS

...Having dug out treachery beneath me
I end something of life in ending mecum-vade,
Made up of a hundred pearls threaded
Logically, shed tear into tear.
Halt the pen before... before...
The impatient reader stops :
Quietly I shut my notebook, like a cell-door - -

Similarly, a botanist having his herbarium full
(When from the lowly moss the tiniest petal
Whispers about the deaths of creatures) and wanting
To sign the frontispiece... writes... mortal!
