Alfred Edward Housman (Альфред Эдвард Хаусман (Хаусмен))

Additional Poems. 11a. They Shall Have Breath that Never Were

— They shall have breath that never were,
But he that was shall have it ne’er;
The unconceived and unbegot
Shall look on heaven, but he shall not.

— The heart with many wildfires lit,
Ice is not so cold as it.
The thirst that rivers could not lay
A little dust has quenched for aye;
And in a fathom’s compass lie
Thoughts much wider than the sky.
