Poets - Antun Branko Šimić

Poets are eternal wonder in the world.
They walk the Earth and their eyes
large and mute grow near the things.
Leaning an ear
on silence that surrounds them and torments them,
poets are eternal blinking in the world.

Antun Branko Šimić (1898 – 1925) Croatia
Translated by Božica Cvjetković
