Poems by Osip Emilevich Mandelstam
"In Petersburg we'll meet again"
... The sloped shoulders of blessed women still sing, ...
"The Greeks planned for war"
... From the harbor of Athens, you could see it ...
"You took away all the oceans and all the room"
... Nowhere. You left me my lips, and they shape words, even in silence ...
Petropolis
... Transparent spring has broken, above the black Nevas hiss ...
Meganom
... and from there the black sail will return ...
To M.L. Lozinsky
... Indeed, the avalanche among the highlands lives! ...
"O this air, intoxicated with sedition"
... The whole Assumption, wonderfully rotund, ...
What shall I do with this body they gave me
... For being alive, for the joy of calm breath, ...
"Nature's the same as Rome, was reflected in it"
... To keep the silence, and stones with which to build ...
"Still I have not died, and still am not alone"
... and from its gloom, its hunger and its hurricanes ...
“Alone I stare into the frost’s white face”
... . . And snow crunches in the eyes, innocent, like clean bread ...
"The falling is the constant mate of fear"
... Have thirst for death and sadness of the broad- ...
“Yet to die. Unalone still.”
... A dog’s barking frightens, the wind cuts down ...
"A phantom scene barely glimmers"
... Melpomene has lashed the windows of her room with satin ...
The Age
... look back, feebly, with cruel jaws, ...
