Boris Pasternak - The shiv'ring piano, foaming at the mouth

The shiv'ring piano, foaming at the mouth, br Will wrench you by its ravings, discompose you. br 'My darling,' you will murmur. 'No!' I'll shout. br 'To music?!' Yet can two be ever closer br br Than in the dusk, while tossing vibrant chords br Into the fireplace, like journals, tome by tome? br Oh, understanding wonderful, just nod, br And you will know I do not claim to own br br Your soul and body. You may go where'er br You want. To others. Werther has been written br Already. Death these days is in the air. br One opens up one's veins much like a window.
