[No. 333]

I’ve written down the words

that I’ve not dared to speak.

My body’s strangely dumb.

Dully my head beats.

 

The horn cries have died.

The heart’s still confused.

On the croquet lawn, light

autumn snowflakes fused.

 

Let the last leaves rustle!

Let last thoughts torment!

I don’t wish to trouble

those used to happiness.

 

I forgive those lips, eyes

of yours, their cruel jest…

oh, tomorrow we’ll ride

that first wintry sledge.

 

Drawing-room candles will glow

more tenderly in the day.

Of conservatory roses

I’ll bring a whole bouquet.

Я написала слова,

Что долго сказать не смела.

Тупо болит голова,

Странно немеет тело.  

 

Смолк отдаленный рожок,

В сердце все те же загадки,

 Лёгкий осенний снежок

Лег на крокетной площадке.  

 

Листьям последним шуршать!

Мыслям последним томиться!

Я не хотела мешать

Тому, кто привык веселиться.

 

Милым простила губам

Я их жестокую шутку...

О, вы приедете к нам

Завтра на первопутку.  

 

Свечи в гостиной зажгут,

Днём их мерцанье нежнее,

Целый букет принесут

Роз из оранжереи.

Anna Akhmatova, 1910

I had to laugh when I saw the typewriter because it was all I had when I learned to type and it was very difficult to learn to get up any speed on it at all. Thank God for the electric ones. Cool shots ! ! !

Неплохая идея оплавить "западные" мозги. Да пожалуй и восточные тоже...
Leftofcenter said at 6:46 p.m. on Nov 2, 2009:
a very cool idea, following the curves of the chair... I like the typewriter shot the best, the angle (did you stand on the desk??) and because i love those old typewriters, I have one too!
