How can a heart expression find?
Expect a most agreeable letter, for not being overburdened with subject (having nothing at all to say), there shall be no check to my genius from beginning to end.
--Jane Austen
I have come to you with greetings...
AFANASII FET
I have come to you with greetings
To tell you the sun has risen,
To say that its burning light
Through the leaves has sent a flutter;
To say that the woods have waked,
Every corner, and every twig,
Every bird has taken wing
Full of appetite for spring;
To say I have come again
Full of passion, just like yesterday,
To tell you my soul is ready
To serve happiness and you;
To tell you that all around
Gaiety is wafting on me,
To tell you I really don't know
What I'll sing, - but that a song is coming.
