med_cat: (Hourglass)
Где лгут и себе и друг другу,
И память не служит уму,
История ходит по кругу
Из крови – по грязи – во тьму.
 
Игорь Губерман

In the place where people lie to themselves, and to each other,
And where memory does not serve the intelligence,
History walks in a circle
From blood--on the dirt--into the darkness.

(Igor Guberman)

BOOK POWER
by Gwendolyn Brooks

BOOKS FEED AND CURE AND
CHORTLE AND COLLIDE

In all this willful world
of thud and thump and thunder
man’s relevance to books
continues to declare.

Books are meat and medicine
and flame and flight and flower,
steel, stitch, and cloud and clout,
and drumbeats in the air.
