One of my favorite poets, Leopold Staff: The Moment What matter - TopicsExpress



          

One of my favorite poets, Leopold Staff: The Moment What matter that it’s passing? That it passes? Moments exist if only to pass by, Hardly mine, no longer anyone else’s, Like cloudy masterpieces in the sky. Though everything perpetually changes, And moments are replaced by moments waiting, Always in lakes among the masterpieces Either stars or pretty girls are bathing. P.S. after the Polish of Leopold Staff (1878-1957) translated by Leo Yankevich first appeared in Iambs & Trochees more about him for English speakers: angelfire/scifi2/rsolecki/leopold_staff.html Poles know who he was for our poetry and culture.
