Sometimes a line or a paragraph can be transforming. These words from the poem On Death, Without Exaggeration by the 1996 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature Wislawa Szmborska caught me by surprise -- a unique unexpected twist, so much a part of the wonder and beauty of her poetry. There's no life that couldn't be immortal if only for a moment. Death always arrives by that very moment too late.
