Czeslaw Milosz - Hope

Czeslaw Milosz - Hope

Hope is with you when you believe br The earth is not a dream but living flesh, br that sight, touch, and hearing do not lie, br That all thing you have ever seen here br Are like a garden looked at from a gate. br br You cannot enter. But you're sure it's there. br Could we but look more clearly and wisely br We might discover somewhere in the garden br A strange new flower and an unnamed star. br br Some people say that we should not trust our eyes, br That there is nothing, just a seeming, br There are the ones who have no hope. br They think the moment we turn away, br The world, behind our backs, ceases to exist, br As if snatched up by the hand of thieves.
