A Poet Reflects

February 28, 2013 with 179 notes
        tags: Face to Face. February. Tomas Tranströmer. The Great Enigma.

In February living stood still.
The birds flew unwillingly and the soul
chafed against the landscape as a boat
chafes against the pier it lies moored to.

—Tomas Tranströmer, from “Face to Face” in The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems, translated from the Swedish by Robin Fulton (New Directions Books, 2006)
