Osip Emilevich Mandelstam Sun Poems

  • 1.
    This night is irredeemable.
    Where you are, it is still bright.
    At the gates of Jerusalem,
    a black sun is alight.
    ...
  • 2.
    The chalice was suspended in the air
    Like the golden sun for a splendid moment.
    Here only Greek should be heard:
    To take the whole world in your hands, like a simple apple.
    ...
  • 3.
    Brothers, let us glorify freedomâ??s twilight â??
    the great, darkening year.
    Into the seething waters of the night
    heavy forests of nets disappear.

    Sisters - Heaviness and Tenderness- you look the same.

    Carried off on a black stretcher, yesterdayâ??s sun goes.
    ...

    In Petersburg we'll meet again,

    And for the first time utter
    The blessed, senseless word.
    ...

    The Muses conducted the first round dance
    So like bees, blind lyrists might give us Ionic honey.
    A great chill blew
    ...

    Let us glorify, brothers, the twilight of freedom --
    The great twilight year.
    ...
  • 8.
    Go back to the tainted lap, Leah,
    Whence you came,
    Because to the sun of Ilion
    You preferred yellow twilight.
    ...
  • 9.
    Just for joy, take from my palms
    A little sun, a little honey,
    As Persephone's bees commanded.
