Wisława Szymborska and Ewa Lipska (English subs)

[@JuanCRayon]

My love, Wislawa, from Spain

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

She's adorable and exactly how one would imagine. She reminds me of my granny from Krakow and both were born in 1923, although my granny lived to be 92, not 89. I'm a poet too and discovered we write in a bit similar way and we both lost our dads when we were teenagers. (Urocza! Bardzo mi przypomina moja babcie, tez z Krakowa.)

[@martinharris7339]

Yes. she reminds me of my Babcia too.

I love this woman and her poetry. Too bad there's no way I could meet her now to tell her how beautiful she is both on the inside and the outside. She's pure perfection if it weren't for her smoking but she's the queen either way! Wislawa, Poland misses and loves you so much!

[@martinharris7339]

You meet her and communicate with her by reading her poetry. (The smoking is part of the perfection!)

[@Tiffany-rr3vf]

@@martinharris7339 That's right! By and large, I don't mind her smoking but sometimes I just think that she was harming herself by that and that's why I said that. Anyway, she is perfect 😅❤

[@kadykianus]

I love her.

Szymborska = 🐐 of poetry

[@joannasokolowska80]

Uwielbiam Wisławę ❤️jestem tak bardzo bardzo szczęśliwa ze jestem Polka i znam język polski. Bez tego nie zbliżyłabym się do jej poezji w takim stopniu .

[@krischristof1006]

uwielbiasz ją za to, że razem z żydowskimi innymi "pisarzami" podpisała się pod listem do komunistycznych żydowskich władze "polsce" aby jak najszybciej wykonać kary śmierci na księżach, na których wydano taki wyrok w sfingowanym przez żydowskie władze procesie, NIGDY za to nie przeprosiła, uwielbiasz ją za te wiersze chwalące żydowski komunizm, za wychwalanie Stalina, Lenina i Bieruta?

[@adhamosama915]

She’s the one

Nie rozumiem ale kocham polski jézyk.

[@miloradtomic]

Волим братски Пољски народ и учим им језик. Филолошки фак? Не. Славистика нам затајила. Зашто нам небеску поезију Виславе преводе Google translate-ri? Причам са Пољацима, који ме убеђују да је лепо бити Србин, а ја ћутим, јер покушавам да будем частан човек. Да, нису ме убедили. Они из народа Виславе, тражили да чују поезију Мике Антића, на српском. Знам и зашто. А ви?

[@miloradtomic]

Хајде да се договоримо. Помодни језик, који наводно знају чак и у трговачким центрима, замену за Есперанто користим само ако га неко сматра и зове га ирски или шкотски.

[@cichomomo11]

The same here. Haha

[@mattshaw3710]

this is wonderful to see. what's the name of the video it's from?

[@martinharris7339]

It's from a Dutch documentary called "End and Beginning: Meeting Wisława Szymborska" ("Koniec i początek. Spotkanie z Wisławą Szymborską"). There's a trailer here: vimeo.com/41003300 And some more information here where you can order the DVD: www.oogland.com/index.php?id=4&project=31 I used to have the whole documentary in Polish only. I added subtitles to this clip and used it in a lesson with a student I was teaching Polish.

[@mattshaw9516]

Thanks, I wish there was a complete copy with English subtitles

[@martinharris7339]

There is, but you have to buy it! :( pity it's not on KZbin. It's a very good documentary. She gave very few interviews in her life.

[@zuben1245]

Szymborska was a declared Polish communist during the worst period of Stalinism. She even wrote a poem for Stalin. An average poet promoted by the communist regime.

[@martinharris7339]

Perhaps at that time she was an average poet. But I believe she later renounced her earlier political poetry. Her later work, for which she is celebrated, is quite different.

[@zuben1245]

@@martinharris7339 Later, she did not write about communism, because it was not profitable for her. In fact, she made up for the propaganda approach to poetry, but she still wrote on average. Compared to Zbigniew Herbert, her poetry was only ok.

...но мы её любим не только за это!
