Here you will find the Poem We went out of our minds with the easy life of poet Osip Emilevich Mandelstam
We went out of our minds with the easy life, Wine from morning on, hungover by evening, How can I keep this idle gaiety, Your blush, O drunken plague? An agonizing ceremony in a handshake, Nocturnal kisses on the streets, While the currents of speech grow heavy, And lanterns burn like torches. We wait for death, like the fairytale wolf, But I'm afraid that the first to die will be The one with the anxious red mouth And the forelock covering his eyes.
