by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)
Translation by Berthold Feiwel (1875 - 1937)
Дума за думой, волна за волной
Language: Russian (Русский)
Дума за думой, волна за волной - Два проявленья стихии одной: В сердце ли тесном, в безбрежном ли море, Здесь - в заключении, там - на просторе, - Тот же всё вечный прибой и отбой, Тот же всё призрак тревожно-пустой.

Wellen... Gedanken...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Wellen... Gedanken... Wie beide sich reih'n: Zwei Elemente -- und eins doch in zwein! Hier Herzens Enge, dort Ozeans Weiten, Hier dumpf Gedränge, dort freies Gleiten, Flut und dann Ebbe, und Lust und dann Pein-- Alles doch eitel und Wahn nur und Schein...
