Poems by Osip Emilevich Mandelstam
"Stretching taut the silken threads"
... First dies down, drawn to the shadows, ...
I dont remember the word I wished to say
... O, to bring back the diffidence of the intuitive caress, ...
"Just for joy, take from my palms"
... In the dense forest of life fear cannot be overcome ...
"I can't sleep..."
... What Troy then means for you, Achaeias people fine ...
"The chalice was suspended in the air"
... To take the whole world in your hands, like a simple apple ...
"Every church sings its own soft part"
... With sorrow for the Russian name, for Russian beauty ...
"To read only children's books"
... To throw everything grown-up away, ...
Straw
... Sleepless, for the high and weighty ceiling to come down ...
"The thick golden stream of honey took so long"
... We don't get bored at all" -- and she looked over her shoulder ...
"A young Levite among priests"
... Run, priests, for night is already over the Euphrates! ...
"I had not tried the wine..."
... And, spread by winds, the winter woolen scarves ...
"To cure wounds is so rigid"
... Few things they need for inspiration: ...
"Why do the clock-hoppers sing"
... Why do the mice grind with their teeth ...
The Menagerie
... But I sing the wine [*] of the times -- ...
Silentium
... and return, Word, where music begins: ...
