19th March 1823
by Vasíly Zhukóvsky (1783-1852)
translation by A. S. Kline
You stood there
in silence,
your sad gaze
full of feeling.
It brought to mind
the past I loved...
your last gaze
on earth for me.
You vanished,
silent angel:
your grave,
celestial peace!
All earth's memories
are there,
all the thoughts
of heaven, sacred.
Heavenly stars,
silent night! ...

one way to support the troops
another way to support the troops
one way to support the Iraqi people
many other ways to support the troops and the Iraqi people
one way to support victims of torture
one way to witness every day
