The cover of the collection of texts (LT translation) by Josif Brodsky
titled "Poet and prose"
Reading "The Inner Side of the Wind" by Milorad Pavič. One of the main characters, Hera, who was an unpublished writer but a published translator, used to write letters to her brother in a sophisticated form: she was inserting pieces of her own writtings into the books that she was translating; she then used to mark these insertions with her lipstick. Then she was sending the books to her brother as letters.
Just before Milorad Pavič gives an example of Hera's guerilla-like insertion into other novel, which describes situation, how captain Petar ot Vitkovič wakes up in a soul, which is not his own soul, Hera says:
" - A poem is given as a punishment to writers. And prose is mercy".
I think I sometimes read prose as a great poetry. Milorad Pavič is a miracle under this dublication.

His Holiness Dalai Lama writes in his FB page:
"The human capacity to care for others isn’t something trivial or something to be taken for granted. Rather, it is something we should cherish. Compassion is a marvel of human nature, a precious inner resource, and the foundation of our well-being and the harmony of our societies. If we seek happiness for ourselves, we should practice compassion: and if we seek happiness for others, we should also practice compassion".
