Poem "Dream" [Boris Pasternak]
The #poem "Dream" by Boris Pasternak is a reflection on time and unrequited #love. The poem narrates a dream in which the lyrical self, surrounded by friends and a beloved figure, feels the inevitable passage of time. Autumn, symbolizing decline and transience, is the constant backdrop both in the dream and upon waking. In the end, the character awakens, but the feeling of downfall and the atmosphere of disintegration linger. The poem emphasizes the use of metaphors and unique musicality, reflecting influences from other great Russian poets.
#Poetry "Dream" [Boris Pasternak]
I dreamed of autumn through the glass half-lightened,
Of friends and you in their joyful band,
And, like a falcon, which took blood in fighting,
Heart was descending on your gentle hand.
But time did go, grew older, failed to hear,
And only slightly silvering the frames,
Sunrise was catapulting bloody tears
Of late September on the glasses’ panes.
But time did go, grew older. And the crumbled,
Like ice, was thawing and breaking sofa’s silk.
And suddenly you stopped and stayed the silent,
And dream, like echo of a bell, did sink.
I waked. The dawn was, like the autumn, blackened,
The passed by wind was carrying far away,
Like a straw rain running behind a hay-cart,
The crag of birches running the sky’s gray.
