Constantine P. Cavafy - Melancholy Of Jason Kleander, Poet In Kommagini, A.D. 595

Описание

The aging of my body and my beauty is a wound from a merciless knife. I’m not resigned to it at all. I turn to you, Art of Poetry, because you have a kind of knowledge about drugs: attempts to numb the pain, in Imagination and Language. It is wound from a merciless knife. Bring your drugs, Art of Poetry— they numb the wound at least for a little while. Constantine P. Cavafy poemhunter.com/poem/melancholy-of-jason-kleander-poet-in-kommagini-a-d-595/
