translated by
DAVID McDUFF - Menna Abu Zahramembuat kutipan4 tahun yang laluHis diligence with metre and rhyme is remarkably successful, and is the only proper tribute to the poet’s linguistic virtuosity.
- Menna Abu Zahramembuat kutipan4 tahun yang lalu‘It must be said right away that those who want to have an inkling of what Tsvetayeva is actually like, and that includes her form, her rhyme, and the tone of that accompanies form and rhyme, will have to go to McDuff.

But for us whose hearts still care
The map holds a location
That’s void: our honour’s there. - Andrea Poulainmembuat kutipan6 tahun yang lalu
Poems grow in the same way as stars and roses,
Or beauty of no use to a family.
To all the wreaths and apotheoses - Andrea Poulainmembuat kutipan6 tahun yang laluMay you live forever!
Cherish your life.
Only poets in bone
Are as in a lie. - Andrea Poulainmembuat kutipan6 tahun yang laluThe demon in me’s not dead,
He’s living, and well.
In the body as in a hold,
In the self as in a cell. - catalina creelmembuat kutipan7 tahun yang lalu
This gypsy passion for parting!
We just meet, but already take flight!
My brow’s in my hands, I’m starting
To think, looking out through the night
That those who ransack our letters
Have only perceived by halves
How faithless we are, and that is –
How faithful we are to ourselves. - catalina creelmembuat kutipan7 tahun yang laluThe rhymes and rhythms of Tsvetayeva’s poems serve a dual function: they are her main compositional device, and they also play an emblematic, even a symbolic role:
In this world there are rhymes.
Disjoin them – and it trembles. - catalina creelmembuat kutipan7 tahun yang laluAbove all, my translations are offered in what I conceive to be the Tsvetayevan spirit.
