Poem of the day

med_cat: (Blue writing)
Небо называют — голубым,
Солнце называют золотым,

Время называют — невозвратным,
Море называют — необъятным,

Называют женщину — любимой,
Называют смерть — неотвратимой,

Называют истины — святыми,
Называют страсти — роковыми.

Как же мне любовь свою назвать,
Чтобы ничего не повторять?


<1935>

The sky is often called blue,
And the sun--golden,

Time is called irretrievable,
Sea--immeasurable,

A woman is called beloved,
Death--inevitable,

Truths are called sacred,
And passions--fateful.

What, then, should I call my love,
So as not to repeat anything?

(Natalya Krandievskaya-Tolstaya)

You are most welcome! My mom told me this one, and I looked up the poet :)

I have more of her work to post.

Also--I don't remember now--have I ever shown you the poems of Julia Drunina?

I do not think so; at least I do not recall the name, and do not see her in your poets list.

Thought so; I'll have to post a few of hers, one of the WWII Soviet poets
