“What's left of me
is just for you to see
in your heart
Even though we may be
far apart
Never fear
if I should disappear
You will see there are still stars that shine
after me”

“Even sight heightened to become all-seeing
will do you no good without a sense of taking part.”

Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012) Polish writer

"Conversation with a Stone".
Poems New and Collected (1998), Salt (1962)
Context: No other sense can make up for your missing sense of taking part.
Even sight heightened to become all-seeing
will do you no good without a sense of taking part.
You shall not enter, you have only a sense of what the sense should be,
only its seed, imagination.
