A Warning, By Czeslaw Milosz

Share

Little animals from cartoons, talking rabbits, doggies, squirrels, as well as ladybugs, bees, grasshoppers. They have as much in common with real animals as our notions of the world have with the real world. Think of this, and tremble.

From “Road-side Dog” by Czeslaw Milosz, translated from Polish by the author and Robert Hass (Farrar, Straus & Giroux: 208 pp., $22)
