Valery Bryusov Quotes
He Asked Her, 'Why Do You Feel Sorry For Me, Old Woman?'
The Old Woman Stood Beside Him And Looked Out The Window At The Garden, So Beautiful, Flowering And Everywhere Illuminated By The Rays Of The Setting Sun, And Said, 'I Feel Sorry For You, Dear Youth, Because I Know Where You Are Gazing And What You Are Waiting For. I Feel Sorry For You And Your Mother.'
Perhaps Because Of These Words, Or Perhaps Because Of Something Else, There Was A Change In The Youth's Mood. The Garden, Flowering Behind The High Fence Below His Window, And Exuding A Wonderful Fragrance, Suddenly Seemed Somehow Strange To Him; And An Ominous Sensation, A Sudden Fear, Gripped His Heart With A Violent Palpitation, Like Heady And Languid Fragrances Rising From Brilliant Flowers.
'What Is Happening?' He Wondered In Confusion.
("The Poison Garden")
