Spring and All (1923) is a book of poems by William Carlos Williams.

Once a friend-scientist asked me: "What is meant by the inner life?" I answered: "Read my poetry." He read, and he said: "Now I know."

The history of Poland, since the eighteenth century, has been marked by an almost unending struggle for survival. From 1795 through 1945, she was partitioned four times by her stronger neighbors, most of whom were intent on suppressing if not eradicating Polish culture. It is not surprising, then, that much of the great literature written in modern Poland has been politically and patriotically engaged. Yet there is a second current as well, that of...
