Russian Poetry Quotes

“Надо жить у моря, мама, надо делать, что нравится, и по возможности ничего не усложнять; это ведь только вопрос выбора, мама: месяцами пожирать себя за то, что не сделано, упущено и потрачено впустую – или решить, что оставшейся жизни как раз хватит на то, чтобы все успеть, и приняться за дело;”

“* * * По белой бумаге скользят небеса, из ручки спокойно стекают слова, и кораблями в века, по столу, и в небо, и в душу, в прощальность; В саду сидит тихо кот, и гуляет собака, и птица на ветке, вот там – в полумраке. По белым по строчкам скользят небеса, и птицею с неба приходят слова.”

“Have you ever found a flower, simple and modest, in a dark grove, in the young spring grass? (You were alone, in a foreign land.) It waited for you, in the dewy grass , it blossomed alone... And for you, its pure scent, its first scent, it saved. And you pluck the fragile stem. With a careful hand, you thread it into your buttonhole, with a slow smile, the flower you destroyed. And so, you walk along a dusty road; All around, the entire field is burnt, Abundant heat pours from the sky, And your flower has long since withered. It grew in the calm shade, Nourished by the morning rain, And was eaten away by the scorching dust, Scorched by the midday ray. So what? Regret is in vain! It must have been created to stay for a moment In the vicinity of your heart.”

“My Russia My Responsibility (The Sonnet) Moya Rossiya, moya lyubov, I am sorry, That the world has turned its back on us. But can you really blame them when, We accepted a terrorist as a leader of ours! Awake, arise, my brave comrades, Drink deep from the valor of Volga. I say, enough with apathy, for it is high time, To sanitize our land against all domestic virus. We let a terrorist loose on our neighbors, And all that bloodshed is on our hands. Even now if we don't mend our horrific error, One savage will turn our world into a wasteland. Mnogo te obicham, for you are still my home. To humanize our home is the duty of none but our own.”
