Completely different (Szymborska)

Everything the dead predicted has turned out completely different.
Or a little bit different—which is to say, completely different.
The most fervent of them gaze confidingly into our eyes:
their calculations tell them that they'll find perfection there.

Wisława Szymborska, from "The Letters of the Dead"
