Abstract: Nikolay GumilevThe Tom (The Turkey)Translated from Russian by Anne Becker and Leonid Margolis) From the dawn of my unfaithful memories,I recollect a dappled meadowWhere reigned a haughty TomWhom I adored. Independence and rage were in him;His beak was as scarlet as flame;And because I was four years old,He roundly despised me. Neither chocolate nor caramels,Nor pineapple soda,Could console meFor the knowledge of my shame. Today a great anguish returns,With the humiliation and grief of my early years,When you, my adored, cruel,Proudly deny me. But everything passes in this fluid life,Love will pass, sorrow will pass,And I will recall you with a smileAs I recall the turkey.
