A two-page letter from Z. Herbert to Z. Najder with a poem

[ZbigniewHERBERT ]. Handwritten letter from Zbigniew Herbert to an unnamed Zdzislaw Najder, dated. April 3, 1966 in Vienna.
One-sided manuscript on two sheets of thin paper form. 20.8x14.6 cm. Herbert thanks you for your good wishes, is happy that Najder managed to leave for the US, and asks: "don't just pester [...] the poor Americans with my work, they have enough trouble with the Vietnam War anyway." He writes that he has completed two sketches and sent them "to the Country, the one where a crumb of bread is lifted from the ground...", informs about current literary works (he mentions "Wilus the Conqueror", the drama "Alibi", a sketch about the Acropolis), plans for the near future (a trip to "Scotland", Paris, a return to Vienna). Asking "for the greatest discretion," he admits to an affair: "bogdanka is an actress, which is probably enough to sing the rest" (this is about the poet's secretly kept relationship with Austrian actress Angelika Hauff). He reciprocates the Christmas wishes, and places two poems under the text under the common title "The posthumous fate of some Polish poets." The poem bearing No. 7 is dedicated to Miłosz ("He was big, and he was so afraid of death"), the poem No. 2 to Julian Przybosi ("Though to an insect he was similar chitinous arts master over masters"). Good condition.
Z. Herbert (1924-1998) - poet, essayist, playwright, author of radio plays, serious contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Knight of the Order of the White Eagle.
