FEDOR SOLOGUB: "The Sacred World's Unquestioned..."

"The Sacred World's Unquestioned..."

1896

The sacred world’s unquestioned Pharaoh –
I filled it with my spirit’s breath
And shall not ever have a hero
Nor in the heavens nor on earth.

I’ll hold in secret that I breed on 
My own sacramental light; 
And toil like slave, but for my freedom,
I call for darkness, peace and night. 


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2001
