“Upon the brink of the wild stream
He stood, and dreamt a mighty dream.”
Original: (ru) На берегу пустынных волн Стоял он, дум великих полн.

“Our dreams
Poured into each other's arms, like streams.”
"Daybreak"
Context: Then, in a flush of rose, she woke and her eyes that opened
Swam in blue through her rose flesh that dawned.
From her dew of lips, the drop of one word
Fell like the first of fountains: murmured
'Darling', upon my ears the song of the first bird.
'My dream becomes my dream,' she said, 'come true.
I waken from you to my dream of you.'
Oh, my own wakened dream then dared assume
The audacity of her sleep. Our dreams
Poured into each other's arms, like streams.
“Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams
The summer time away.”
