A melancholy accordion.
Swimming season.
Blue lightnings.
Shoes size 40.
Istria is dying.
The sea.
Europe is dying.
Sports, the economy, politics.
Japan versus Russia.
NEW CULTURE.
New culture: humanitarianism.
New politics: humanitarianism.
New art: for man.
Europe's hour of death draws near.
Anoint it with H,SO,.
The hour of grief.
A curtain has unveiled a new world.

I consider the body of the work with Kosovel--each is striking. Each offers another way of seeing things. Each is compelling in its construction. His name and his work should be linked with the greats worldwide. It's amazing what Kosovel was able to accomplish, given that he lived only for 22 years.

I really am impressed by Kosovel's work. He's one of the biggest European poets of his time, I must say...Unfortunately he died real soon.
This poem is a great one, just like all other Cons-es are. I'm quite influenced by him, I must say.
