INFATUATION AND FEAR

[CZESŁAW MIŁOSZ: MUSINGS IN A HOTEL LOBBY]

The text is an introduction to an article by Czesław Miłosz, providing a context for its interpretation and discussing the circumstances in which it was created. It concentrates on particularly interesting themes in the poet’s press correspondence from the late 1940s, which was found in Czesław Miłosz’s archives and is published here for the first time.
