A poignant poem of Marina Tsvetaeva, which is well worth a reread from time to time Bashny.Net

People do not need people on the ground to fightthe Famous theater critic and film critic, host of telecast "My silver sphere" Vitaly Woolf in the last years of his life he said:"I love Marina Tsvetaeva. In my years in particular understand and appreciate her poetry." And one of his favorites was this poem that Tsvetaeva wrote when she was only 23 years old. What a pity that what she says in it, many people don't understand until the very end of life.

 





I know the truth! All the old truth away!
People do not need people on the ground to fight.
See: evening, look: almost night.
About — poets, lovers, generals?

The wind is spread, already the earth in dew,
Very soon star in the sky hardens Blizzard
And under the earth will soon pass out we all
Who on earth was not allowed to sleep together.
 

@ Marina Tsvetaeva, 3 Oct 1915
