Ирландский поэтарх

Уильям Йейтс

Лишь слогу русскому дано величие.Какой еще язык искусно может сочетатьгармонию любви и перепевов птичьих,красиво и созвучно описать!

A poet to his beloved

I BRING you with reverent hands

The books of my numberless dreams,

White woman that passion has worn

As the tide wears the dove-grey sands,

And with heart more old than the horn

That is brimmed from the pale fire of time:

White woman with numberless dreams,

I bring you my passionate rhyme.
