A.Blok, Everything Was Under Bible... - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

Everything was under Bible:
The young passion turned to cold,
And the end to young excitements
Gradually changed to a common row.

I was dazed, yet feeling nothing,
And consoled by A HELL.
All the words I've strictrly counted,
But - I had the great head-ache...

Longly suffered and plaintively...
Silently my body frozed.
I rose up: look, thirty years!
Catch-n-grasp - the heart is gone.


And the heart - was a deadman painted.
When the end had come, he found,
That this case was quite banal -
His soul's died... Will be another?
