I don't believe in omens or fear
|
||||
Forebodings. I flee from neither slander
|
||||
Nor from poison. Death does not exist.
|
||||
Everyone's immortal. Everything is too.
|
||||
No point in fearing death at seventeen,
|
||||
Or seventy. There's only here and now, and light;
|
||||
Neither death, nor darkness, exists.
|
||||
We're all already on the seashore;
|
||||
I'm one of those who'll be hauling in the nets
|
||||
When a shoal of immortality swims by.

If you live in a house - the house will not fall.
|
||||
I'll summon any of the centuries,
|
||||
Then enter one and build a house in it.
|
||||
That's why your children and your wives
|
||||
Sit with me at one table, -
|
||||
The same for ancestor and grandson:
|
||||
The future is being accomplished now,
|
||||
If I raise my hand a little,
|
||||
All five beams of light will stay with you.
|
||||
Each day I used my collar bones
|
||||
For shoring up the past, as though with timber,
|
||||
I measured time with geodetic chains
|
||||
And marched across it, as though it were the Urals.

I tailored the age to fit me.
|
||||
We walked to the south, raising dust above the steppe;
|
||||
The tall weeds fumed; the grasshopper danced,
|
||||
Touching its antenna to the horse-shoes - and it prophesied,
|
||||
Threatening me with destruction, like a monk.
|
||||
I strapped my fate to the saddle;
|
||||
And even now, in these coming times,
|
||||
I stand up in the stirrups like a child.

I'm satisfied with deathlessness,

For my blood to flow from age to age.
|

Yet for a corner whose warmth I could rely on
|
||||
I'd willingly have given all my life,
|
||||
Whenever her flying needle
|
||||
Tugged me, like a thread, around the globe.
