The mystery of existence

Lucian Blaga-  a poet, philosopher, translator, and dramatist, Romanian writer Lucian Blaga (1895–1961) narrowly missed winning the 1956 Nobel Prize for Literature because of Soviet government interference. Blaga created the field of philosophy of culture and the concept of Mioritic Space, both of which became key concepts in the development of a Romanian national identity. I don't want to describe his poetry because I think his poem speaks for itself. :) 




I do not destroy the crown of miracles of the world
and I don’t kill
by my mind the mysteries I come across
along with my path
in the flowers, in the eyes, on the lips or graves.
Others’ light
suffocate the spell of the incomprehensible hidden
in deepness of dark,
but me,
with my light I increase the world’s mystery -
and the way the moon by its white rays
do not diminish, but shivering
increases the mystery of night,
the same way I enrich the dark horizon
by deep shivers of sacred mystery
and all that is impossible to understand
becomes more incomprehensible
under my eyes -
since I love
flowers and eyes and lips and graves.
