Аннотация: Первая проба Леонида Бродского сделать перевод с русского на английский (американский). Я уверен, у нас их много будет.
Well done,
You dug you teacher a grave,
Pushed him in and buried
With you cheap creation
Erected a grave mound
Out of your poetry,
Wrote the stupidest of forced lines
On his tomb stone
But his teaching comprehended you not
He did warn you,
Only then shall your write
When lines strangle your throat
I am not to blame for the judgment
That will be, nor is the crowd of friends;
Time with a broom will sweep over them
And tell the real value.
Without mercy will Time erase names
And spare only one trace.
The blind eternal poet with no homeland
Will pass through its sieve.
