Usually, the murmur that rises up from Paris by day is the city talking; in the night it is the city breathing; but here it is the city singing.

From contact with their superiors they acquire knowledge,
Is one the course of the wind, is one the water of the sea?

Nor what is the course of the wind, or who agitates it,
In what place it dies away, on what land it roars. — Taliesin

February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, While torrential slush that roars Burns in the blackness of the spring. Go hire a buggy. For six grivnas, Race through the noice of bells and wheels To where the ink and all you grieving Are muffled when the rainshower falls. To where, like pears burnt black as charcoal, A myriad rooks, plucked from the trees, Fall down into the puddles, hurl Dry sadness deep into the eyes. Below, the wet black earth shows through, With sudden cries the wind is pitted, The more haphazard, the more true The poetry that sobs its heart out. — Boris Pasternak
