*This is a poem by Boris Pasternak (a russian poet) that I've translated into english. During the lengthy winter terms The days of equinox I’ve greeted And each was peerless in its forms And endlessly each day repeated A sequence file made of them A bit by bit, would slowly mold-- Those solitary days, just when The time completely comes to halt. And each one now I recollect  -The winter is halfway completed And roofs are leaking roads are wet, Upon the ice, the sun is seated. And lovers reach out to embrace So eagerly, it seems they’re dreaming. High in the trees, from sultry rays, The starling-houses are steaming . Half-sleeping hands are way too tired, To endlessly turn 'round the face And in a day, decades expire And never ends the warm embrace. |
