“Go, find yourself naïve lovers …” by Marina Tsvetaeva 🇷🇺 (8 Oct 189231 Aug 1941)
Translated from the Russian by A. S. Kline
Go, find yourself naïve lovers: they
Won’t correct marvels by number.
I know that Venus was—hand made,
I’m a craftsman, with craft encumbered.
From the highest solemnity, dumb,
To the soul almost trampled to death,
Here’s the whole celestial stair—from
My breathing—to: not one breath!
