Delmore Schwartz (Делмор Шварц)

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

I looked toward the movie, the common dream,
The he and she in close-ups, nearer than life,
And I accepted such things as they seem,

The easy poise, the absence of the knife,
The near summer happily ever after,
The understood question, the immediate strife,

Not dangerous, nor mortal, but the fadeout
Enormously kissing amid warm laughter,
As if such things were not always played out

By an ignorant arm, which crosses the dark
And lights up a thin sheet with a shadow's mark.

1. Yeats Died Saturday in France
2. Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day
3. All Night, All Night
4. In the Naked Bed, in Plato's Cave
5. The Heavy Bear Who Goes With Me
