Snow is falling on the road—the white camomile flowers. Perhaps, little by little, I shall reach the windows where shines a welcoming light?…My tired feet tread on the the white camomile flowers…Could I but touch peace!
from Nikolai Klyuev’s “The Coming of Peace,” Lament for Esenin (tr. Dimitri Obolensky)
