(After Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin)

So vividly I do remember,
it was near the first of September,
...

(in answer to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin)

To me our love has an eternal sphere,
to you love may be a thing that is fleeting.

(in answer to Aleister Crowly)

Tonight the moon rise huge gold and blue,
hangs in the infinite sea of space like a pearl,

when the first time you opened your eyes.
It was like an unwearyingly eternal spring,
the world had sun-filled clear skies,

(After Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin)

Bring me, sweetheart, your bitter words no more,
do not awake painful things in memory,
...

You coming into my life I saw as a Godly sign
and in your company I did thrive,
with prayers I tried our love to enshrine,
where you have been the love of my life,
...
