Maybe you know about S.Plath, W.H.Oden, J.Keats,W.B.Yeats, and other American and English poets.But i want to share with you the poetry by Conrad Aiken.It's so simole but so beatiful.And im' sorry but i can't cut it because it seems to me so unputdownable)
"Bread and Music"
Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread;
Now that I am without you, all is desolate;
All that was once so beautiful is dead.
Your hands once touched this table and this silver,
And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, belovèd,
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart you moved among them,
And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;
And in my heart they will remember always,—
They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.
I see the girl who tries to be independent and proud, but actually she's sensitive and a little bit timid. But we all from time to time reset our armor. is not it?
When I learned to read
I wanted to become the poet like Keats,Brodsky,Tsvetaeva...
I'm really surprised that so many people interested in Russian language and Russian culture.In Moscow I often meet foreigners, even in the cold season (like winter).Its great! Welcome in Russia)
I'm scared when I start to count how much i spend.
Im 26 ,but i still have not learned to control my spending.
I live alone, I do not like to go shopping,but... I have a few passions.The first is a good food.I'm gourmet and and I cant to resist this.I The second-i love antique books ,rare books, if I see them in Moscow or St. Petersburg I always buy it.
And whats your passions?
" are you from Russia?! mmmm. mmmmm or Wow !" What does it mean? Let me guess.... It means a set of stable associations: Russia/ vodka / Bears .. red square, the Soviet Union/ snow and then( maybe ) Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky, Stanislavski e .t.c.
I thought it was in the past.Am i wrong?
