In this house we have no shame. All of us lost our shame when we lost our brothers.

В Шахрисабзе, как я читала, есть мера длины чакар - расстояние, на котором слышен крик в горах. Хорошо бы подойти так близко, чтобы можно было докричаться до прошлого.

Пожаловаться

Собранные вместе предсказания о конце времен сливаются в нескончаемый плач, похожий не столько на пророчество, сколько на признание: миру наступает конец каждый день.

The silence. End of all poetry, all romances. Earlier, frightened, you began to have some intimation of it: so many pages had been turned, the book was so heavy in one hand, so light in the other, thinning toward the end. Still, you consoled yourself. You were not quite at the end of the story, at that terrible flyleaf,…

What do they say of the desert? What they say of it is not true. What do they say of the dunes, the salt flats, the cities of broken gravel, and the fields of quartz and chalcedony thrown down by the majestic volcanoes of Iva? Nothing. They say nothing.

Пожаловаться

You can sit in the corner. It`s all you can do when it starts raining. Sit in the dry corner and watch the water slide on the floor. It finds its way to the doorway at last and joins the rest of the rain, down there, outside. There`s a thunder, darkness, a cold fog everywhere. But sometimes — wasn`t it true that you would…

When the wound is discovered, the source of the pain, it does not bring pain, because the pain was already there from the first. This is the greatest surprise to me. I cannot believe that I am lying calmly in the darkness while he weeps.

Пожаловаться

Love, for our people, was synonymous with dishonor. It was something to be avoided, hidden, crushed... They spoke of it in hushed tones, telling about my cousin who loved a man forbidden to her and drowned herself, of disapproving of a father who doted on his young son, saying the child would be spoiled, would become a…

At last, after days of exposure and hardship, we were rewarded: a door of wonders opened in the landscape. At the crest of a rocky hill, suddenly, a new world lay before us, a blaze of gold, a bleak, profound desolation: Kestenya the savage and solitary, stretched out at the foot of the mountains, the great plateau that…

"We mean no dishonor to Avalei or your person, veimaro," one of them grumbled, scratching his neck. "But we have come for a man, a foreigner." He scanned the group and pointed to me with his sword. "That one. The islander. We`ve come for him." "That man is our my guest," Auram said icely. "An insult to him is and insult…

We were moving away from the sea. On our left hung high limestone cliffs, topped with turf and a few wind-blasted trees; on our right the country spilled like a bolk of silk unrolled in a market, like perfumed oil poured out in a flagrant gesture. The Ethendria Road, wide and well-kept, curved down into the Valley, into…

"Let me ask — how old are you?" "Twenty-two." "Twenty-two." She looked at me, her eyes wet and green as celadon. "You are very young. I think that you have not built anything yet?" I thought of my life: lessons, a journey, an angel. I shook my head. "No," she murmured. "I thought not. It is dangerous to build. Once you…

For you are following a thread. For you are cloaked in dawn. For in a field you have found a hidden treasure. Kneel, traveler, and take it. It is a word. Now stand, take up your staff, and travel on until you find another.
