"What is deepest and most deeply felt in life, the transitoriness - TopicsExpress



          

"What is deepest and most deeply felt in life, the transitoriness of human beings, illness, death, the vanity of opinions and convictions, cannot be expressed in the language of theology, which for centuries has responded by tuning out perfectly rounded balls, easy to roll but impenetrable. Twentieth-century poetry, or what is most essential in it, gathers data on the ultimate in the human condition and elaborates, to handle the data, a language which may or may not be used by theology." --Czeslaw Milosz, "Theology, Poetry" in /Road-Side Dog/, 21.
