I swear, there is in me no wizardry of words.
I speak to you with silence like a cloud or a tree.
~ Czeslau Milosz
The songs of whales ring wistful, even melancholy,
to the human ear. Perhaps this tone belongs to all
who plumb the depths.
I swear, there is in me no wizardry of words.
I speak to you with silence like a cloud or a tree.
