23.8.12

memories of a bygone era






"To escape, to escape, to find fatherland a little farther, to establish
a country with borders of rusty gates and provinces made
of overgrown gardens and a capital that overlooks the orchard.

Yes, to draw up a constitution from decaying letters, to collect
forgotten keys, to summon the dead to the scorched parliamentary
table,to declare a great return, the independence of dreams.

from "The Recovered Lands"
by Tomasz Rózycki
