“I am happy living simply” by Marina Tsvetaeva (1892—1941)

 

Marina Tsvetaeva



I am happy living simply:
like a clock, or a calendar.
Worldly pilgrim, thin,
wise—as any creature. To know

the spirit is my beloved. To come to things—swift
as a ray of light, or a look.
To live as I write: spare—the way
God asks me—and friends do not.

1919
