It was then a confusion. Kiss and bite
Resemble one another, and the one
Who deeply loves can well confuse the two.
Resemble one another, and the one
Who deeply loves can well confuse the two.

How do you choose your poems? Are these particular favourites? Here's one my friend translated for me, by Osip Mandelshtam:
Your delightful tenderness
Has made me shy.
Why talk of sadness,
When eyes
Light up like candles
In broad daylight?
In broad daylight...
And that one tear -
So far behind -
Of an encounter a souvenir;
And shoulders recline,
When lifted by tenderness.
... and the blood a bond that never
strangles and never breaks ...
peace & harmony,
elaine
'freedom must be exercised to stay in shape!'
