“I thought of eagles for a long time …” by Daniil Kharms 🇷🇺 (1905 – 1942)
Translated from the Russian by & Alex Cigale
I thought of eagles for a long time
and understood such a whole lot:
the eagles soar above the clouds,
they fly and fly and touch no one.
They live on cliffs and on mountains
and are intimate with water sprites,
I thought a long time about eagles
but confused them, I think, with flies.
