“When the Moon” by Czesław Miłosz 🇵🇱🇺🇸 (30 Jun 1911 – 14 Aug 2004)
Translated from the Polish by Czesław Miłosz & Robert Pinsky
When the moon rises and women in flowery dresses are strolling,
I am struck by their eyes, eyelashes, and the whole arrangement of the world.
It seems to me that from such a strong mutual attraction
The ultimate truth should issue at last.
