Юлий Ким. Песня Волшебника
SONG OF THE MAGICIAN*
It’s absurd! It’s surprise!
It’s ridiculous!.. – It’s so great Miracle!
And so funny!.. and so... –
Who can tell us of what does it mean at all?..
The day will come, the hour will come,
The instant to be started this –
To set in motion:
And stones will bloom, and ice will burn,
And I’ll be knocke' down by soft breeze –
Oh, mad, strange fiction!
The wild will fume in magic tale,
And owl will sing like nightingale,
And even, even thin thread will
Be too firm to be cut with steel –
Damask sword steel!
It’s absurd! It’s surprise!
It’s ridiculous!.. – It’s so great Miracle!
And so funny!.. and so... –
Who can tell us of what does it mean at all?..
And with my power it will come:
The hidden fever, the desire,
All charms of vision –
And pain, and laugh, and shades, and lights –
In one big fire, in one big fire!
Oh, mad, strange fiction!..
And I will see, and I will hear
As from my madness to appear
(What the fantastic things!) some face:
It’ll get its sounds, and colours – oh! –
And life, and passion!
It’s absurd! It’s surprise!
It’s ridiculous!.. – It’s so great Miracle!
And so funny!.. and so... –
Who can tell us of what does it mean at all?..
