      From: ibshambat@gmail.com              Teasing and tempting and playing              We loved like children, us both              But somebody, hiding a smile,              Set up the ungentle nets -              And here we are at the harbor,              Not seeing the wished-for abodes,              But knowing that I will be yours              In the heart, without words, until death.                            You told me of all things - so early!              I guessed them so late! In our hearts              A wound is eternal, a silent              Question exists in our eyes,              The desert on earth is so endless,              The heaven, so high, has no stars,              Revealed is the tender secret,              And frost rules for centuries.                            I will talk to shades! O my dear,              To forget you I do not have might,              Your visage can't move under shadow              Of eyelids gone over my eyes...              It's darkening... Shutters have closed,              On all things descending is night...              I love you, one ghostly-eternal,              And only you - and always!                     By Marina Tsvetayeva       Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat       https://sites.google.com/site/ibshambat              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
