Day 2. Poems vs. My brain

[aitan]

Решила на днях тренировать память и мозг в частности, чтобы не ржавел - мало ли, пригодится еще))
Ну и как часть обязательной программы - каждый день учу новое стихотворение) А дабы совместить приятное с полезным - беру стихи на английском. Возможно, потом возьму и что-нибудь из прозы... Посмотрим.
Иии... вчера я выучила очаровательное I Carry Your Heart with Me by E.E. Cummings.

Сегодня учу A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
