  • The wooden organ did not roar this evening

    From Ilya Shambat@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 1 15:39:18 2023
    The wooden organ did not roar this evening.
    The cradle song of Schubert to us sang
    The windmill blew and in the hurricane's singing
    Laughing blue-eyed intoxication rang.

    The world of ancient song is green and brown,
    The world of ancient song, young for all age,
    Where nightingale elms' towering crowns
    The forest rocks with fierce and beastly rage.

    And night's return, so terrible and mighty,
    That song is wild and deep just like black wine -
    This poltergeist is but a visage empty
    That, thoughtless, knocks upon the windowpane.

    By Osip Mandelshtam
    Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat

    Death to the Influencers, hung, drawn and Quartered is more than they deserve. Meantime, back at the Estancia, etc.
