Enda O'Doherty has a long review in the Dublin Review of Books, of the essays by Czesław Miłosz collected in Proud to Be a Mammal (a book discouragingly not available in the US market at the time of this post). O'Doherty writers in reference to one section:
From the martyred Poland of the war years, the country of German occupation, casual murder and coolly planned genocide, Miłosz wrote a sequence of short naive poems entitled "The World." An excerpt from one of those, titled "Love": "Love means to learn to look at yourself / The way one looks at distant things / For you are only one thing among many."Read the review, titled "All Things Considered," at the DRB website.
