There are two great Russian female poets:M. Tsvetaeva and A.Akhmatova.Please, get to know one of them-A. Akhmatova(1889-1966).
Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)The portrait by O. Kardovskaya(1914)My Hands Clasped...(1911)My hands clasped under a veil, dim and hazy..."Why are you so pale and upset?"That's because I today made him crazyWith the sour wine of regret.Can't forget! He got out, astound,With his mouth distorted by pain...I,not touching the railing, ran down,I was running to him till the lane.Fully choked, I cried,"That's a joke--All that was. You get out, I'll die!"And he smiled very calmly, like stroke:It's windy right here--pass by."Translated by Y. Bonver,2000Y. Bonver' site: http://www.poetryloverspage.com/yevgeny/index.html
Natasha, that's a compliment too good to me. I really don't read books, especially poems. So, I'm very happy that you gave me a chance to read a good one like this!
Hi yoh,
You've made a shrewd observation-the unimpeachable artistic form fits with the poem's content brilliantly! That's true- the author uses successfully visualising in this poem. I am very glad that you're "deeply impressed"! I thought you were not going to read it... There is a saying:''Talented people are telented in all things they do". It's about you. Thank you!
Hi natasha - thank you for introducing this great poet to us!
Reading this poem is like watching some scene of a good movie. It vividly visualizes the atmosphere and dynamics of emotions - or even lets me imagine the background of two people.
I must say Anna Akhmatova is absolutely a great poet as she deeply impressed a literature dummy (me!) ;D
