Poems in Russian
Я ненавижу светЯ ненавижу свет Однообразных звезд. Здравствуй, мой Древний бред, Башни стрельчатой Рост! Кружевом, камень, Будь, И паутиной стань, Неба пустую грудь Тонкой иглою Рань! Будет и мой черед Чую размах крыла. Так, но куда уйдет Мысли живой стрела? Или, свой путь и срок, Я, исчерпав, вернусь: Там - я любить не мог, Здесь - я любить боюсь... Osip Mandelstam | I Despise The LightI despise the light Of monotonous stars. Hello, my old delirium, The tower's crenellated Pinnacle! Stone, turn to lace Become a spider web, With your thin needle, wound The empty breast of the sky. My own turn will come I feel the spread of my wings. Yes-but where will the arrow Of living thought fly? Perhaps having used up my path And time, I will come back There-I could not love, Here-I fear loving... Osip Mandelstam |
