Raissa Bloch (1899-1943)
Stefanie MahrerHow Can I Find You Again (Kak mne ververnut’sia k vam)
How can I find you again, holy names,
And you, letters, dark as ruined temples?
O, how my blood cleaves to you, helpless; (...)
Let me stay with you, (...)
The square-root letters of Your testament,
Knowing that the unquenchable light is spreadingAnd pouring the warmth of millennia into the dusk.September 1934
