Unique Days by Boris Pasternak.

How I remember solstice days


Through many winters long completed!
Each unrepeatable, unique,
And each one countless times repeated.
Of all these days, these only days,
When one rejoiced in the impression
That time had stopped, there grew in years
An unforgettable succession.
Each one of them I can evoke.
The year is to midwinter moving,
The roofs are dripping, roads are soaked,
And on the ice the sun is brooding.
Then lovers hastily are drawn
To one another, vague and dreaming,
And in the heat, upon a tree
The sweating nesting-box is steaming.
And sleepy clock-hands laze away
The clock-face wearily ascending.
Eternal, endless is the day,
And the embrace is never-ending.

    Борис  Пастернак Единственные дни На протяженьи многих зим Я помню дни солнцеворота, И каждый был неповторим И повторялся вновь без счета. И целая их череда Составилась мало-помалу Тех дней единственных, когда Нам кажется, что время стало. Я помню их наперечет: Зима подходит к середине, Дороги мокнут, с крыш течет И солнце греется на льдине. И любящие, как во сне, Друг к другу тянутся поспешней, И на деревьях в вышине Потеют от тепла скворешни. И полусонным стрелкам лень Bорочаться на циферблате, И дольше века длится день И не кончается объятье.

    One of the last poems by B. Pasternak “The Only Days” was written in 1959 and was first published in the collection “Poems and Poems” (M., 1961), and later went into the book of poems “When Walking Around” (1956-1959) 1 .        After a series of years of silence, when the poet was forced to do only translations, poems appear in which "natural, immediate simplicity prevails ... simplicity is capacious, complex, Pushkin and human simplicity ..."

    @ural59 Thank you very much for sharing this information. I discovered Boris yesterday and hope to read more of his poems. Do you know if he translated these himself? I could not find the name of a translator and was very impressed with the quality of the translation. The English version has a wonderful rhythm. If you care to, you can read the Russian version as I would like to hear that too. 😊

    @Shamus Boris Pasternak has many wonderful poems. I'm glad for you that you have to read poetry. Boris Pasternak himself wrote in English. He was a translator! He translated Shakespeare.🙂

    I love poetry but I have never read poetry in English. Is beautiful! Also the audio is your voice? If it is, you're very good at reading it.
