Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva World Poems
- 1. The Demon In Me
The demon in me's not dead,
He's living, and well.
In the body as in a hold,
In the self as in a cell.
... - 2. Tryst
In a world where all
Are hunched and lathered
I know only one
Equal to me in strength.
... - 3. Little World
Children - are staring of eyes so frightful,
Mischievous legs on a wooden floor,
Children - is sun in the gloomy motives,
Hypotheses' of happy sciences world.
... - 4. Poets (excerpt)
3
What can I do, blind and outcast
In a world where all are fathered and sighted,
... - 5. Dis-stance: Versts, Miles
To B. Pasternak
Dis-stance: versts, miles...
They've dis-joined us, dis-mantled us,
... - 6. Lady With Camelias
Your whole way with shining evil's coal
Margaret, they all do bravely judge.
What's your fault? The body sinned as such,
Innocent you have retained your soul.
