The Best Verse
The golden bullions, thrown by a nature - Oh how charming always is their weight! It’s beautiful – a whirl running string set, The flooding sounds’ powerful emersion. It’s beautiful – deep wisdom in old scriptures, The gleam of secrets, fire of the line. More beautiful – to live in fancies, fine, And, like a daisy, bloom in spring fields richest. From all sweet flowers, given to a dream, Maybe, this flower is the most modest, It’s so simple, virgin, self-composed… It doesn’t bear the dreams of orchids, slim, Or ones of irises, so languid in repose. But verse of few words – as the best it seems. Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, August, 2003
