Brown Of the Mail visited him
at his country home near
Moscow. During their interview,
Mr.. PasternaK said. he asked
the new sman to give the poem
to one of his (Pasternak's)
friends in Paris.
Mr.. Pasternak wrote the
poem after he accepted-aud
then rejected-the Nobel Prize
for literature, awarded him last
year, principally for his novel
"Dr. zhivago,"
The poet-novelist said he hao
not written the poem for pub
lication - in Moscow, Paris
London or any other place. In
the poem. he says he is lost
like an animal in. an inclosure
and is being accused of wicked
ness. The poem concluded
with the assertion that he be-
lieves the day will come when
he will be exonerated for pub
fishing a novel in the West
which could be interpreted
(but wrongly, according to the
author) as anti-Soviet..
Following is an. English
translation of the poem as it is
being circulated in London:
I am lost like a beast in an
enclosure, :
Somewhere are people,
freedom, and light.
Behind me is the noise OF
/ pursuit,
And there is no Uay out
Dark forest By the shore Of

come,
When the spirit of good ,viu

Advised of Mr.. Pasternak' S
charge, Mr.. Brown made nc
immediate comment, In a story
published with the poem, the
reporter had said Mr.. Pasternak
gave him the poem for publica-
ton, saying he realized its pub
llcation might ..endanger him.
