Zbigniew Herbert, 'Heart'

Wednesday, March 7, 2007 8:40:52 PM

, , ,

All man's organs are bald and smooth. The stomach, intestines, lungs, are bald. Only the heart has hair - reddish, thick, sometimes quite long. This is a problem. The heart's hair inhibits the flow of blood like water plants. The hair is often infested with worms. You have to love very deeply to pick these quick little parasites from you beloved's cardiac hair.

- Zbigniew Herbert, from: Study of the Object (1961), translation Alissa Valles.[/size][/font]
