Innokenty Annensky Quotes

I Was Washing Outside In The Darkness,
the Sky Burning With Rough Stars,
and The Starlight, Salt On An Axe-blade.
The Cold Overflows The Barrel.

The Gate's Locked,
the Land's Grim As Its Conscience.
I Don't Think They'll Find The New Weaving,
finer Than Truth, Anywhere.

Star-salt Is Melting In The Barrel,
icy Water Is Blackening,
death's Growing Purer, Misfortune Saltier,
the Earth's Moving Nearer To Truth And To Dread.
