“my love is
an arduous weight,
hanging on you
wherever you flee.
Let me bellow out in a final complaint
all of my heartbroken misery.”

- I’m completely enamored by Mayakovsky’s words. Like, are you kidding me? He had such a way of expressing everything in such a structured and straightforward manner . I just would love to read him in Russian to know the cultural meaning behind every reference and word usages , the translation was impeccable nonetheless! Favorite reading so far.
