The collections consist of 18 lyrics. Szymborska speaks to us in her light, nearly casual manner about the deepest philosophical problems. The language of her 'poetical philosophy' is based on facts and details. The less familiar to man are created by Szymborska phenomenons the more vivid is their description. Only by concentrating on details can we capture the wholeness of Being. "The End and the Begining" is variation of the basic problem brought by "Calling out to Yeti" and "Salt". Very often is shows us a very personel and intimate reality.
