Czeslaw Milosz - A Task

Czeslaw Milosz - A Task

In fear and trembling, I think I would fulfill my life br Only if I brought myself to make a public confession br Revealing a sham, my own and of my epoch: br We were permitted to shriek in the tongue of dwarfs and br demons br But pure and generous words were forbidden br Under so stiff a penalty that whoever dared to pronounce one br Considered himself as a lost man.
