|    The first ray    |

      From: ibshambat@gmail.com              The first ray - as the blessing of the Lord -       Across the face of the beloved did creep,       Who, sleeping, went a little pale,       And then again more tightly went to sleep.              It seemed that warmth of ray of sun       Appeared unto his vision like a kiss...       And long with these my lips I have not touched       The tan strong shoulder or the dear lips.              And now, the deceased spirits in my long       Disconsolate wandering along the way,       I am now flying toward him as a song       And I caress him with a morning ray.              By Anna Akhmatova       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)    |
