Ilya Grigoryevich Ehrenburg. (№ 274134)

Die the gardener that plants the seed,
And you will not see the first fruit.
Oh, time is a deceptive burden!
Motionless air, frozen water,
Dew, like tears, is about loss,
Reminiscent of the mummy cocoon
Comes to life under the gaze of the stone statues
And lizards nepotist sleep.
