Here's a little something - Glacialis - Aug 14, 2001 This is one of the first poems I've read, and one of the most beautiful. I don't know it's name though. I've translated it, as usual... -------------- Within me, is the time of Autumn It is transparent and cool inside me I am sad, but not inconsolable I am filled with goodness and humbleness And if I mess about sometimes I do it only passingly and there comes a simple and melancholic thought, that messing about isn't the most important thing Most important thing, is to be able to see the world of you, upheavals and conflicts in the nakedness of Autumn, when you and the world are visible through it all Ideas are the children of silence It's not bad to keep your mouth shut occasionally Calmly, we must undress all the sounds because of the new leaves I guess something has happened to me I trust only in silence where the leaves, falling upon each other quietly turn to earth And you see it all from the hill when you know to throw the leaves in time when the Autumn within, passionately, presses it's air-like fingers upon your forehead -Jevgeni Jevtusenko-
