Do not elude — I will not sue
For your heart pain, nor secret worrying,
I want to plunge myself in mourning
And to repeat that I love you.
It is suffice for me to fly
To you like waves run by the water —
To kiss cold granite I have gotten,
To kiss and after that to die.
Не избегай; я не молю
Ни слез, ни сердца тайной боли,
Своей тоске хочу я воли; —
И повторять тебе: люблю.
Хочу нестись к тебе, лететь,
Как волны по равнине водной,
Поцеловать гранит холодной,
Поцеловать и умереть.

«I yearn to live in wild extremes, / Perpetuating things and places / And incarnating all that's faceless — / To carry out all broken dreams. And while life’s nightmare chokes, persisting, / And in my sleep I suffocate, / Perhaps the future, near or distant / Will bring a glad lad, w...»
