Summary/Abstract: The story of attention is one of the most important motifs in the return of the human spirit to the world. Czesław Miłosz, in his capacity as an attentive poet, made an inventory of fragments of reality, recorded it in a magic register of poetry, transferred it beyond the range of the passage of time, and salvaged it. Most important, however, proves to be not the process of saving fleeting moments for the sake of eternity, but opening the reader up towards a new dimension so that the question of living among people would become more captivating.
