— Head of Demon by Mikhail Vrubel (detail)

With stubborn rings it winds in mute obscurity And clings caressingly, its purpose whole. And this dead thing, this loathsome black impurity, This horror that I shrink from — is my soul.

— Psyche by Zinaida Gippius, 1905 (Translated by Babette Deutsch and Avrahm Yarmolinsky)

[liliphea]

В своей бессовестной и жалкой низости,

Она, как пыль, сера, как прах земной.

И умираю я от этой близости,

От неразрывности ее со мной.

Она шершавая, она колючая,

Она холодная, она змея.

Меня изранила противно-жгучая

Ее коленчатая чешуя.

О, если б острое почуял жало я!

Неповоротлива, тупа, тиха.

Такая тяжкая, такая вялая,

И нет к ней доступа — она глуха.

Своими кольцами она, упорная,

Ко мне ласкается, меня душа.

И эта мертвая, и эта черная,

И эта страшная — моя душа!
