“Do viđenja, dragi, do viđenja.
Ljubav, mili, u grudima spava.
Ništa ovaj rastanak ne mijenja,
možda novi susret obećava.

Do viđenja, mili, bez ruke i slova
neka ti tuga obrve ne povije.
Smrt nikad nije bila nešto nova,
ni život nije ništa novije.”
― Sergej Jesenjin, Crni čovjek - izabrane pjesme

“Haljina modra i plave oči
Lagao sam dragoj jedne noći.

Draga pitala: "Mećava vije?
Spremit ću postelju, peć se grije."

Odgovorih dragoj: "Neko sa visine
cvjetovima bijelim pokriva daljine.

Postelju spremi, peć se grije,
bez tebe u srcu mećava vije.”
― Sergej Jesenjin

“Be my lover between two wars waged in the mirror, she said.
I don't want to return now to the fortress of my father's house.
Take me to your vineyard.
Let me meet your mother.
Perfume me with basil water.
Arrange me on silver dishes, comb me,
imprison me in your name,
let love kill me.”

“When a man is in love
how can he use old words?
Should a woman
desiring her lover
lie down with
grammarians and linguists?

I said nothing
to the woman I loved
but gathered
love's adjectives into a suitcase
and fled from all languages.”
