RKS POLISH Literature: Death Claims All (Władysław Reymont)

‘God bless you, but mark also you are a little old, and everyone is mortal, for:

Death is not choosy

Today a man, tomorrow a sheep

With equal scrutiny she’ll reap.’

‘I’m strong; I’ll hold out another twenty years, never you fear!’

‘And Fearless was eaten by wolves.’

Władysław Reymont, “The Peasants”, 1909
