In Black Despair Poem by Czeslaw Milosz
In Black Despair
Rating: ★2.9
In grayish doubt and black despair,
I drafted hymns to the earth and the air,
pretending to joy, although I lacked it.
The age had made lament redundant.
So here's the question -- who can answer it --
Was he a brave man or a hypocrite?
