Though mavericks heretics spoilers

we are all children of nature

Just as a birth brought with it the forecast of death

so we wander among gardens

disinherited from wild meadows

greeting with our feet the roots of roots

the cradle of mortality

Taken from 'In Praise of the Unfinished: Selected Poems' (2008) translated, from the Polish, by John and Bogdana Carpenter.

Westchnienie

Chociaż odmieńcy heretycy psuje

jesteśmy wszyscy dziećmi jej – natury

Jak przez swe narodziny niósł zapowiedź śmierci

tak my pośród ogrodów krążąc

z dzikich łąk wydziedziczeni

pozdrawiamy stopami korzenie korzeni

kolebkę śmiertelności

Born to a Polish father and a Russian mother, Julia Hartwig (1921-2017) was a Polish poet, essayist, translator and author of children's books. She studied at the University of Warsaw, the Catholic University in Lublin and the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Czesław Miłosz called her 'the grande dame of Polish poetry'. Julia Hartwig was one of the few poets in Poland who made masterly use of poetic prose. She translated poems by Apollinaire, Rimbaud, Max Jacob, Cendrars and Supervielle, and published monographs on Apollinaire and Gerard de Nerval. She also translated from English, and published a large anthology of American poetry which she co-edited in 1992 with her late husband, the poet Artur Międzyrzecki.
