From Mandelstam s Voronezh notebooks

In a sketch, in a draft I shall whisper it,
For its time is yet to arrive:
In the sweat of thy toil and experience
Thou shalt see the glisten of the sky

Through the transient skies of this purgatory
Oftentimes we can't recognise
That beyond them resides a repository,
Domicile eternal on high.

9 March 1937
