N. TENIGINA: "Your Heart Is Like..."

"Your Heart Is Like..."

(From Omar Khayyam)

Your heart is like your eyes – if you’ve closed your eyes:
You fathom the new world surrounding all us.
So, give up all your claims you had had in the old one - 
And men will show you their respect at once.


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
