Over at Ralph the Sacred River, Dr. Edward Cook posted Some Lines from Milosz in which he reproduced a poem from Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz.

I was unfamiliar with Milosz, and don't know anything of the man besides this poem. But the poem hit me like poetry seldom does. I'd highly recommend that you read it. Then read it again.

Thank you, Dr. Cook.

Ah, Milosz. I was first introduced to him by the Daniel Amos album _Darn Floor Big Bite_, in which many of the songs ("Unattainable Earth", to name a personal favorite) were basically Milosz poems set to music.
