“I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again”: Szymborska
Wislawa Szymborska, the Polish poet, one of the most important writers of our times died at the age of 88. When she was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1996, the award committee related the poet not to any of the poets of the past, but to two great musicians of the world. She was described as "Mozart of poetry" but with "something of the fury of Beethoven".
Let me dedicate these Kabir lyrics sung by Pt. Kumar Gandharva, the singer of many of the modern Indian poets.
Have a nice day
