  • Music: Shostakovich — Symphony No. 4 in C minor. III [Allegro]

Пора, мой друг, пора

'Tis time, my dear, 'tis time. The heart demands repose.
Day after day flits by, and with each hour there goes
A little bit of life, but meanwhile you and I
Together plan to dwell...yet lo! 'tis then we die.

There is no bliss on earth, there's peace and freedom, though
An enviable lot I long have yearned to know.
Long have I, weary slave, been contemplating flight
To a remote adobe of work and pure delight.

(Pushkin — Nabokov)
