Yolek has been transformed into a kind of Elijah figure. On Passover, Jews all over the world pour the prophet Elijah a cup of wine and open the door for him, inviting him to enter as a guest who will signal the advent of the Messiah. Thus far, Elijah has tarried and never come back. And neither has Yolek. At the end of Anthony Hecht’s testimonial poem, each of us is left at home, opening the door and sitting down to a meal, forever waiting for a murdered boy to return.

Zbigniew Herbert
