Мы встречаем благодать не потому, что мы
ходим кругами, а потому, что достигнуты извне эквиваленты наших невыразимых
состояний. Любовь
прикрывает своим именем жизнь в каком-то царстве привидений, будто бы прибегая
к любым средствам, хотя на самом деле она участвует в них не более, чем
приближение к их идеальному образцу. Явления на пределе, в максимуме когда они
есть, берут у совершенства цели разделенных моментов наших вечеров.
Collectors
Marion Strobel (1895 -
1967)
The barnacle of crowds—
Like a tuck
On a finished skirt, unnoticed—
He collected his material
Covertly:
A ragpicker,
A scavenger of words.
And the gleanings
Of his hearing
He would costume
In his own words,
And parade before
A listener.
So that now,
Across the tea-cup,
He was telling
Of his research,
Of his study,
Of his deep thought-out
Conclusions.
And the lady,
Connoisseur of old thoughts
Bound in new gilt bindings,
Smiled approval
At the finding
Of another curio
To place
In her long gallery.
