Biothe hebrew of your poets, zion,
is like oil upon a burn,
cool as oil;
after work,
the smell in the street at night
of the hedge in flower.
like solomon,
i have married and married the speech of strangers;
none are like you, shulamite.
- charles reznikoff, "the hebrew of your poets, zion"
she lived in storm and strife,
her soul had such desire
for what proud death may bring
that it could not endure
the common good of life,
but lived as 'twere king
that packed his marriage day
with banneret and pennon,
trumpet and kettledrum,
and the outrageous cannon,
to bundle time away
that the night come.
- w. b. yeats, "that the night come"
third year grad student in comparative literature at uc berkeley.
languages: yiddish, hebrew, german.
spoken for.
