Текст песни Осип Мандельштам - Бессонница. Гомер. Тугие паруса.

* * *
Insomnia . Homer . Taut sails .
I read the list of ships until the middle :
This long brood , this train of cranes ,
That over Hellas once stood.

As flying geese in the wrong abroad -
On the heads of kings divine foam -
Where do you swim ? Whenever Elena ,
Troy that you alone, Achaeans ?

And the sea , and Homer - all motivated by love .
Whom do I listen to ? And Homer is silent,
And the sea is black, vitiystvuya , noise
And with a heavy roar suited to the head .
