Poem of the day

med_cat: (cat in dress)
* * *
Мы знаем: время растяжимо.
Оно зависит от того,
Какого рода содержимым
Вы наполняете его.

Бывают у него застои,
А иногда оно течет
Ненагруженное, пустое,
Часов и дней напрасный счет.

Пусть равномерны промежутки,
Что разделяют наши сутки,
Но, положив их на весы,
Находим долгие минутки
И очень краткие часы.

(Самуил Маршак)

* * *

We know: time is stretchable.
It depends on
The kind of contents
With which you fill the time.

Sometimes, it is stagnant,
And sometimes, it flows
Unburdened, empty,
An useless counting of hours and days.

Even though the spaces that divide it
Into days are equal,
But, putting them onto a scale,
We find lengthy minutes
And very brief hours.

(S. Marshak)

Sharing my "discovery", as promised ;)

He was very gifted, both in his own poetic works and in translating others'.
