Stone Steps

Old Town, Stone Steps (Kamienne Schodki) in Warsaw (Poland), the twenty-year interwar period.

„As the spring bloomed merrily,
I walked the Steps from Customs Lane
Or the Steps from Crooked Bend.
Linking dreams long departed
In the youthful song of my verses,
It is from you that I flew over the Vistula,
Dearest Steps of Stone.”
Artur Oppman, “Kamienne Schodki” [Stone steps] in Wiersze o Starym Mieście [Poems of the Old Town]
