Untitled (With no need to speak)
Ни о чем не надо говорить,
Ничему не следует учить,
И печальна так и хороша
Темная звериная душа:
Ничему не хочет научить,
Не умеет вовсе говорить –
И плывет дельфином молодым
По седым пучинам мировым.

With no need to speak,
nothing to be learned —
how sad and how blessed
is the dark, animal soul
that has no need to learn,
nothing to be told —
a young dolphin diving
in the shadows of the world.
1909, Petersburg
