“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.

“All my heart became a tear,
All my soul became a tower,
Never loved I anything
As I loved that tall blue flower!”
I wish everyone would understand how relatable i find this particular verse. She was a genius, still needed to use a dictionary to better grasp the word usage however, i will definitely read this again. The epitaph and prayer to persephone are just MAGNIFICENT!!

“In this small poem of mourning, some of the means by which Japanese poetry attains remarkable emotional depth within a brief utterance can be seen. There is the all-pervasive device of intertwining human and natural worlds, in which the natural illuminates the human to keenly felt effect.”
