    "An Eskimo custom offers an angry person release by walking the emotion out of his or her system in a straight line across the landscape, the point at which the anger is conquered is marked with a stick, bearing witness to the strength or length of the rage."

    - Lucy Lippard, Overlay

    Вот и лето прошло,
    Словно и не бывало.
    На пригреве тепло.
    Только этого мало.

    Всё, что сбыться могло,
    Мне, как лист пятипалый,
    Прямо в руки легло.
    Только этого мало.

    Понапрасну ни зло,
    Ни добро не пропало,
    Всё горело светло.
    Только этого мало.

    Жизнь брала под крыло,
    Берегла и спасала.
    Мне и вправду везло.
    Только этого мало.

    Листьев не обожгло,
    Веток не обломало...
    День промыт, как стекло.
    Только этого мало.
Now summer is gone.
And might never have been.
In the sunshine it's warm.
But there has to be more.

It all came to pass,
All fell into my hands
like a five-petalled leaf,
But there has to be more.

Nothing evil was lost,
Nothing good was in vain,
All ablaze with clear light
But there has to be more.

Life gathered me up
Safe under its wing,
My luck always held,
But there has to be more.

Not a leaf was burnt up
Not a twig ever snapped ...
Clean as glass is the day,
But there has to be more.


Arseny Tarkovsky
