Uwierzcie lub nie, ale to moje pierwsze spotkanie z literaturą łotewską. Miejscami autobiograficzna, miejscami nawiązująca do łotewskich krajobrazów. Poezji nie oceniam, bo zwyczajnie jej nie rozumiem. Ale ta na pewno nie była „moja”. Niemniej jednak doceniam piękne wydanie i wartościowy wstęp oraz posłowie.

Kominkiem będzie zachodzące słońce
i w rosie będzie prał rozum

Jak Pan Cogito Herberta.
Gdybym może miała nadal 16 lat, to bym była urzeczona i wyciągałabym wiele wiedzy, ale dojrzalsza czytelniczo widzę za dużo oklepanych wzorców kultury zachodniej, które już zbyt dobrze znam
