What's a pound of flesh among friends?
Однажды Милле переоделся Данте
Это - Данте, в которого переоделся Милле. Сонет № 10 из могилы.
Портрет.
Любовь благая, кладезь доброты!
Молю: пусть образ госпожи моей
В сиянье кисть оденет, пусть сильней
Проступит сущность на холсте, а ты
Открой адепту высшей красоты
Помимо взгляда, полного огней,
И той улыбки, что волны резвей,
Её души небесные черты.
Свершилось! Бледный лоб и нежный рот,
Таящий поцелуев обещанье,
Глаза, что вглубь провидят и вовне...
Её лицо есть храм, и кто придёт
К нему (твоё, Любовь, благодеянье!)
Чтоб любоваться ей, придёт ко мне.
А это - старик Эзра. Верьте ему.
Он знает толк в живописи и в итальянцах.
THE PICTURE
The eyes of this dead lady speak to me,
For here was love, was not to be drowned out.
And here desire, not to be kissed away.
The eyes of this dead lady speak to me.
OF JACOPO DEL SELLAIO
This man knew out the secret ways of love,
No man could paint such things who did not know.
And now she's gone, who was his Cyprian,
And you are here, who are " The Isles " to me.
And here's the thing that lasts the whole thing out
The eyes of this dead lady speak to me.
А это - Регина Ильинична Спектор, которая знает толк в ночных разговорах с поэтами, которые знают толк в живописи и сами - почти итальянцы.

If you're never sorry,
then you cant be forgiven,
if you're not forgiven,
then you cant be forgotten.
If you can't be forgotten,
then you can live forever,
if you live forever,
then you'll begin to dream.
Of death, death, death.
Ezra Pound sat upon my bed,
asked me which books of late i've read.
Ezra Pound sat upon my bed,
asked me which books of late i've read,
asked me if i've read his own,
and whether i could spare a pound,
of flesh to cover his bare bones,
i said' "man, take a pound, take two,
what's a pound of flesh between
friends like me and you?"
What's a pound of flesh among friends?
But if you're never sorry,
if you're never sorry,
If you're never sorry,
then you can't be forgiven,
and if you're not forgiven,
then you can't be forgotten.
if you're not forgotten,
then you must live forever,
if you live forever,
you cannot be reborn.
if you're not reborn,
then you can't be a baby,
if you're not a baby,
you can't learn how to crawl.
if you cannot crawl away,
then you must stay in bed all day,
if you stay in bed all day,
you're sure to have some visitors.
Ezra Pound will sit upon your bed,
ask you which books of late you've read,
ask you if you've read his own,
and whether you could spare a pound of flesh,
to cover his bare bones,
you'll say :"Man, take a pound, take two,
what's a pound of flesh between friends like me and you?"
