Delmore Schwartz (Делмор Шварц)

* * *

What is to be given,
Is spirit, yet animal,
Colored, like heaven,
Blue, yellow, beautiful.

The blood is checkered by
So many stains and wishes,
Between it and the sky
You could not choose, for riches.

Yet let me now be careful
Not to give too much
To one so shy and fearful
For like a gun is touch.

1. In the Naked Bed, in Plato's Cave
2. Sonnet Suggested by Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Vakzy, James Joyce, Et Al
3. All Night, All Night
4. Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day
5. For the One Who Would Take Man's Life in His Hands
