Czeslaw Milosz is a poet. A poet? Is that a profession? Yes it is, when the poet embraces the whole of reality and reproduces it intact; and draws only universal lessons from personal experience; and loves reverently all that exists, stones and souls alike; and releases in one great wave firmly, resolutely, almost violently all the spiritual wealth of the cultures of Central Europe; in the words of Victor Hugo, when the poet acts as a torch.
