Quote
Black as--the centre of an eye, the centre, a blacknessthat sucks at light. I love your vigilanceNight, first mother of songs, give me the voice to sing of youin those fingers lies the bridle of the four winds.Crying out, offering words of homage to you, I amonly a shell where the ocean is still sounding.But I have looked too long into human eyes.Reduce me now to ashes--Night, like a black sun.

Quote
Who sleeps at night? No one is sleeping. In the cradle a child is screaming. An old man sits over his death, and anyone young enough talks to his love, breathes into her lips, looks into her eyes.

Quote
Tonight - I am alone in the night,a homeless and sleepless nun!Tonight I hold all the keys to thisthe only capital cityand lack of sleep guides me on my path.You are so lovely, my dusky Kremlin!Tonight I put my lips to the breastof the whole round and warring earth.Now I feel hair - like fur - standing on end:the stifling winds blow straight into my soul.Tonight I feel compassion for everyone,those who are pitied, along with those who are kissed.
