Akhmatova, "О тебе воспоминаю я редко"
Friday, January 22, 2016 at 11:44
A work ("You I recall but rarely") by this Russian poet. You can read the original here.
You I recall but rarely,
Your fate I shan't pursue,
Yet my soul's slate's swept barely
Of phatic words with you.
Your red house, willfully passed,
Your red house dusks the river.
I know I have trespassed
Before your calm sun's shiver.
Though you as prostrate nurse
Did not avow love's reign;
Though you in flaxen verse
Did not extend my pain;
A future spell is cast.
Were evening fully blue,
I would foresee at last
Eventful words with you.
