Perhaps I'll just read this poem which is a kind of poetic programme. It's called It is also this.
Art casts a spell summoning life
so it can continue
but its space extends to the invisible
It is also an intelligence reconciling
discordant elements and similarities
It is brave
because it seeks immortality
by being – just like everything else – mortal
Taken from 'In Praise of the Unfinished: Selected Poems' (2008) translated, from the Polish, by John and Bogdana Carpenter.
Może jeszcze taki wiersz, który jest jakby takim rodzajem... programem poetyckim. Sztuka jest i tym [sic] – tytuł.
Sztuka jest zaklinaniem istnienia
żeby przetrwało
ale jej przestrzeń rozciąga się na niewidzialne
l jest inteligencją która żywioły skłócone
zjednuje podobieństwem
Jest rzeczą dzielną
bo szuka nieśmiertelności
będąc – jak wszystko – śmiertelną
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.
