Osip Mandelstam - Am given body

ОСИП МАНДЕЛЬШТАМ
ДАНО МНЕ ТЕЛО - ЧТО МНЕ ДЕЛАТЬ С НИМ…
OSIP MANDELSTAM
I'M GIVEN BODY

I’m given body –
What to do with it?
It feels unite and so innately fit…
For silent joy
Of drawing breath and live
Whom should I praise
And thank for priceless gift?

The landscaper and dungeon –
At once,
In dungeon world I am not first,
Or last.

My warmth and breath
Have so far left a trace;
On glass of time –
An infinite embrace.

It will depict
The most unclear sign –
Exquisite trace
Of bleary, vague design.

Let dreg of instance
Flow down and drip,
There is no way
To swipe away
The script.
