G. PLISETSKY: "If You Are a Slave..."

"If You Are a Slave..."

(From Omar Khayyam)

If you’re a slave of the longing aghast,
You, old, will be empty, like home, off cast.
Look back at yourself, and do think about that:
Who are you, where are you, where will be at last?


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
