# Modern Russian Poetry/Eventide

EVENTIDE
The posters shout, their gorgeous motley blares,
The signboards' groaning fills the street,
And from the shops a shrill light sharply flares,
As cries of triumph mock defeat.
Behind the glimmering panes soft fabrics sleep,
And diamonds pour their poison daze,
Above massed coins the lottery numbers leap
Like northern lights ablaze.
The burning streets like long canals of light
Flow on—the city is alive.
It swarms to celebrate the dawn of night
Like some unloosed and monstrous hive.
The sky and all its sentient stars are hid
By scattered arc-lamps beaming blue.
And harlots jostle sages where they thrid
The dancers in a rippling queue.
Between the gay quadrilles that form and break,
Among the waltzers, clanking slide
The tramways, with blue lightnings in their wake;
Like sheaves of fire, the motors glide.
Shame, like a leader his bright baton wielding
To the rank music of the wheels,
Has fused the thousand-throated throng, that yielding
As one, a holy chorus peals:
"Dust, we enthrone thee; brief and radiant Dust,
Dancing the round, we glorify,
About electric altars where they thrust
Their spears into the empty sky."

# Modern Russian Poetry/Force

FORCE
She lies, opening her teats, strong, swollen, wide,
And at her breasts, their equal gift bestowing,
Mad Nero and meek Buddha clutch, unknowing,
As clinging twins who suckle side by side.
She holds two vessels, whence, forever flowing,
The streams of Life and Death serenely glide.
She breathes—and wreaths of stars are lit, and bide,—
She breathes anew: they fly like sere leaves blowing.
She looks ahead with cold unseeing eyes;
She cares not though she bear or cause to perish;
The children whom she nurtures she will cherish,
But when she weans them, every claim denies.
Evil and Good gather them in thereafter
And play the cosmic game with idle laughter.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Foreword

Layout 2
Foreword
This volume heaps the anthological Pelion upon the Ossa of translation. It aims to present the lyrical poetry of Russia for the last hundred years by a selection of poems translated by the editors. Within the fences thus set up lay a wide foreign field to pick from: the old-fashioned garden overrun by the rank growth of exotic flowers, beautiful weeds outflanking the hothouse plants. The principle of selection was, so far as might be, æsthetic. Poems were chosen less for their representative quality than for their immediate worth and, of course, their ability to stand the test of translation. In view of the pioneer character of this work, however, some concession was made to historical considerations, and, therefore, part of the material included may appear rather jejune and vieux jeu. The effort was to give a brief general glimpse of the classic poets and to treat in greater detail the moderns and contemporaries who are, to the translators, as to the readers, more of a living actuality.
The difficulties of selection are obvious. You may add, you may alter the choice how you will, but the sin of omission will cling round it still. In this case the problem was sharpened by the rigors of translation. These were not mere flowers for the plucking. They had to be transplanted into strange soil, which was not hospitable to them all. Translation has been likened to "the wrong side of a Turkey carpet." The question was ​how best to carry over, unbroken and undiminished, the colors and contours of the right side. We are attached to the idea that we have given as much to the originals as we took from them. Adherence to metrical and rhythmical structure was possible, owing to the essential likeness between the two languages with regard to versification. In matters of imagery and the finer aspects of technique there was also an attempt to be as faithful as the linguistic media allow. But juggling is a fine art, not unworthy of the service of Notre Dame, and the three bright balls of substance, form, and spirit were not always easy to keep in the air at once. What we continually sought was to produce, in the end, a poem.
The personality of each poet is brought out in a note preceding the selection from his work, and the filiation of poetic movements is briefly indicated in the introductory essay.
And finally a word pro domo nostra. While it may be difficult to single out each collaborator's part in the work, it is possible, and perhaps interesting, to define the attitude of each. The one, native to Russian literature, brought to the task all the prejudices and privileges of long intimacy. The other, a stranger, saw it with the fresh vision and untaught caprice of a foreigner, making a less practised and a more personal approach. The one was aware, the other persuaded of the gold in the Scythian earth. The two labored together to wrest it, like the one-eyed Arimaspi, from the guardian gryphons.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Flax

FLAX
She sits on tumulus Savoor, and stares,
Old woman Death, upon the crowded road.
Like a blue flame the small flax-flower flares
Thick through the meadows sowed.
And says old woman Death: "Hey, traveler!
Does any one want linen, linen fit
For funeral wear? A shroud, madam or sir,
I'll take cheap coin for it!"
And says serene Savoor: "Don't crow so loud!
Even the winding-sheet is dust, and cracks
And crumbles into earth, that from the shroud
May spring the sky-blue flax."

# Modern Russian Poetry/Fountain

FOUNTAIN
Clear the fountain waters glowing,
Living streams, the well-springs flowing,
Cold, in darkling woods, a spring.
In the shed, cool stillness streaming,
O'er the well, a candle gleaming
On Christ's crown its gilding flings.
In the Eden field—a bower,
And a fountain, and a flower.
Christ, star-voiced, the spirit stills:
"Come, before the well-spring stooping,
Of my quiet waters scooping,— For the stintless bucket fills."

## Notes

* ↑ He cited Pothier des Obligations, No. 645. De Prescription, No. 22, 23. 3 Cranch, 91, 92. law which prevails in Louisiana, the respondent, Montgomery, put in his answer, admitting the execution of the bond, but insisting, that as the bond was executed to the United States, and the defendants in error no parties to it, they had no right or interest in the bond, and could not sue for a breach of the condition thereof; and denying the breaches alleged in the petition. By a supplemental answer, in the nature of a plea of the act of limitations, Montgomery alleged, if any breach had taken place, that more than six years had intervened since the cause of action, before the institution of the suit.

In response to your telephone requests for information regarding to Dokdo and Parangdo, two islands which Korea desires to have Japan renounce in favor of Korea in the treaty of peace, we have tried all resources in Washington which we have thought of and have not been able to identify either of them.
I understand that the Korean ambassador has informed the Department that Parangdo is near Ullungdo. The latter is the Korean name corresponding to the name conventionally used in English, Dagelet Island, and to the Japanese name Utsuryo To. That island is found on available maps and charts, by all three names, in approximately 37° 30' N.latitude, 130° 52' E. longitude.
Since it is difficult to find the name equivalents in the various languages, I am listing below the principal islands in which Korea is interested, in three columns giving the names in European, Japanese and Korean forms.

| MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD |
| TO:CSRT Legal Advisor From:PR23 SUBJECT:Detainee Witness Approval by Convening Authority |
| 1. | On 25 September 2004, detainee requested two non-detainee witnesses to testify he was not a member of al Qaida. The first witness was his father and the second witness was Sheik Mohammed Wali Allah Arrahmani. On 26 September 2004 the Tribunal President denied both witness requests because they did not have first hand knowledge of his activities in Afghanistan. On 27 September 2004, detainee was notified of the Tribunal President’s decision and he elected to not participate in the Tribunal. A Tribunal was conducted for the detainee on 29 September 2004 and the results were forwarded to the Convening Authority for approval. |
| 2. | On 13 October 2004, the CSRT Legal Advisor was notified that the Convening Authority disagreed with the Tribunal President’s decision and authorized the two requested witnesses. On 15 October, I meet with detainee to inform him of the decision of the Convening Authority. Based on this decision I inquired if he would like to participate in his Tribunal and call his witnesses. Detainee stated he did not want to participate in the Tribunal and explained other detainee spoke with attorneys and were told to not appear before the Tribunal or to speak to the Personal Representative. He stated he did not believe the Tribunals were real and he was electing wait until an attorney represented him. He also stated he though this was a trick to get him to talk. He was firm in his decision and the interview was terminated. |

MEMO FOR RECORD :
| TO: | PR23 |
| SUBJECT: | Witness request from ISN |
| Date: | 26 Sep 2004 |
ISN# has requested 2 witnesses. The first is his father who the detainee states knew the details of his trip. However there is no indication that his father knew this information from first hand observation but most likely from what either the Detainee or others had told him were the details of his trip. Unless the father has first hand knowledge of the trip, then the information would be not be relevant and the request for this witness is denied.
The second witness is for Sheik Mohammed Ali Allah Arrahmani but no reason for being requested was provided. Again, unless they have first hand knowledge of what the Detainee did during his trip, the information would be not be relevant and therefore the request for witness is denied.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR
    JOHN N. MITCHELL
FROM: MURRAY CHOTNINER
I heard John Kerry on the newscasts when he appeared before the Senator Fulbright Committee. He was articulate and could be an excellent candidate.
My information covers these points:
    1. He had no use for Senator Fulbright.
    2. His background could be Republican.
    3. He is Yale graduate and is inclined toward the "establishment."
    4. He has no use for the Democrats as such. This was shown by his staterment at the hearing that MacNamara, Rostow, McBundy and others were deserters and deserted our men in Vietnam. In all fairness, the MacNamara crowd was ejected by the voters in 1968. At least, his remarksout them indicates his feelings.
    5. He was asked the direct question of how he voted in 1968. He said "if he had voted (which he did not), he would have voted for Nixon."
His main purpose at present is to get us out of Vietnam (this is not in conflict with the President's actions).
Some of the television commentators predicted a political future for Kerry.
Someone without officially coming from the Administration ought to talk with him.
