Our sacred craft… ~ 'Наше священное ремесло…'
written by Anna Akhmatova
Translated by Richard Shaw, 2000. Link to further information


Shaw: Akhmatova:


 * * *

Our sacred craft
Has existed for thousands of years.
With it, even without the sun, the world is bright.
But so far not one single poet has said
That there is no wisdom, no old age,
And that perhaps there is no death.

Transl. publ. 2000


 * * *

Наше священное ремесло
Cуществует тысячи лет…
С ним и без солнца миру светло.
Но ещё ни один не сказал поэт,
Что мудрости нет, старости нет,
А может, и смерти нет.

Июнь 1944
