A Kind of Relief

Czeslaw Milosz, Road-side Dog (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998), p. 31 ("In a Landscape"):
In a landscape that is nearly totally urban, just by the freeway, a pond, rushes, a wild duck, small trees. Those who pass on the road feel at that sight a kind of relief, though they would not be able to name it.
