Where to now?
Where can I go now?
Not to the Club,
Not to pay calls
ย
Mankind seems so pitiful,
So poor,
Compared to that softened,
Grateful last glance
She gave me through her tears
ย
It was clear and cold
ย
Above the dirty streets
Above the black roofs
Stretched the dark starry sky
This vast firmament
Open to my eyes
Wet with tears
ย
And there in the middle,
Above Prechistensky Boulevard,
Surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars,
Shines the Great Comet of 1812
The Brilliant Comet of 1812
The comet said to portend
Untold horrors
And the end of the world
But for me,
The comet brings no fear
No, I gaze joyfully
And this bright star,
Having traced its parabola,
With inexpressible speed
Through immeasurable space
Seems suddenly
To have stopped
Like an arrow piercing the earth
Stopped for me
ย
It seems to me
That this comet
Feels me
Feels my softened and uplifted soul
And my newly melted heart,
Now blossoming
ย
Into a new life
ย
