Beauty that is not forgotten

Gogol, translated by Kitajima

"At this moment, the setting sun is like a fox sneaking into this kingdom / In a flash igniting the grass / The air is full of horns and hooves, below / The carriage slides like a shadow over my father / The lit yard / Petersburg and destruction at the same latitude

See outside, how darkness welds the soul of the galaxy / Get out of this kingdom in your fiery carriage."

"The Storm", translated by Li Kasa

"The storm in the north / It is the fruit of the catalpa tree, the ripe season / Awake in the darkness / The stars above the oak tree can be heard / Stomping in the stable"

Everyone is waiting for cooler weather

And I'm just waiting for you

Those good things are all around us

"Mom, take off my badge, I can't use it anymore, everything is getting dark, so dark I can't see anything, I feel like I'm knocking on the door of heaven."

Under the Red Sky

This is the key to the kingdom, this is the city; this is the blind horse, which leads you around; let the birds sing, let the birds fly. The man on the moon went home, and the river dried up.

Works by Adonis:

The world made me scratch all over my body, but the wounds grew wings.

No, it is life that is calling the shots, and Death is only a faithful recorder.
