Osip Emilevich Mandelstam

Here you will find the Poem No, not the moon, but simple dial-plate of poet Osip Emilevich Mandelstam

No, not the moon, but simple dial-plate

No, not the moon, but simple dial-plate
Is lightning me, and `tis my nasty fate,
That lights of stars I feel as light internal!

And loftiness of Batyushkov I hate:
'What time is it?' - he had been asked there
late --
And he had answered with curiosity 'Eternal!'
