Czeslaw Milosz Busts a Move

"It seems to me that America is bursting with talents and intelligence, but minds are turning round in a sort of spell-bound dance of paralytics. The awakening is inevitable--but when and what awakening? As to myself I know I can disintegrate completely if I do not keep my thinking clear and hot."

Czeslaw Milosz
in a letter to Thomas Merton
Striving Towards Being
