Boris Pasternak - MargaritaBoris Pasternak - Margarita
Work rating: Low


Sundering the bushes like a snare, More violet than Margarita`s tight-pressed lips, More passionate than Margarita`s white-eyed stare, The nightingale glowed, royally throbbed and trilled. Like the scent of grass ascending, Like the crazed rainfall`s mercury, the foliage among, He stupefied the bark, approached the mouth, panting, And, halting there, upon a braid he hung. When Margarita to the light was drawn, Stroking her eyes with an astonished hand, It seemed, beneath the helm of branch and rain, A weary Amazon was fallen to the ground. Her head in her hand in his hand lay, Her other arm was bent back up to where, Dangling, there hung her helmet of shade, Sundering the branches like a snare.
