    Wisława Szymborska received the Nobel Prize in #Literature, the most important distinction awarded to individuals. Upon awarding her the prize, the Academy praised her “#poetry which with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality.” In 2001, she became an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2011, she was honored with the state's highest decoration: the Order of the White Eagle.
    #poem "Early Hour" [Wisława Szymborska]
    I'm still asleep,
    but meanwhile facts are taking place.
    The window grows white,
    the darknesses turn gray,
    the room works its way from hazy space,
    pale, shaky stripes seek its support.
    By turns, unhurried,
    since this is a ceremony,
    the planes of walls and ceiling dawn,
    shapes separate,
    one from the other,
    left to right.
    The distances between objects irradiate,
    the first glints twitter
    on the tumbler, the doorknob.
    Whatever had been displaced yesterday,
    had fallen to the floor,
    been contained in picture frames,
    is no longer simply happening, but is.
    Only the details
    have not yet entered the field of vision.
    But look out, look out, look out,
    all indicators point to returning colors
    and even the smallest thing regains its own hue
    along with a hint of shadow.
    This rarely astounds me, but it should.
    I usually wake up in the role of belated witness,
    with the miracle already achieved,
    the day defined
    and dawning masterfully recast as morning.
