Weep, sky, weep and weep! Wash the unabated sea
Of thin-voiced waters and dampen the heart.
It seems it was just now, just yesterday
That a deathly shiver buried you alive.
Weep, sky, weep and weep! The past cannot be returned.
Today has been reduced to naught, the future will not come.
Something weighs on the mind that can never
Be torn from the heart. This prison is a prison for prisons!
Vasyl Stus (1938-1985)



music:
Victoria Poleva. "No man is an Island"
Victoria Poleva "No man is an Island", chamber cantata on the text by J. Donne for soprano, piano and Strings (2006), Tamara Khodakova (soprano), The National Ensemble of soloists «Kyivska kamerata», conductor Valeriy Matiukhin

1. This bell tolling softly for another, says to me, thou must die...
2. All mankind is of one author, and is one volume;
3. When one man dies, 
one chapter isn`t torn out of the book, 
but translated into a better language; 
and every chapter must be so translated.
4. Some pieces are translated by Age,
some by Sickness, 
some by War, some by Justice;
5. But God`s hand is in every translations;
and his hand shall bind up our scattered leaves again,
for that Library where every book 
shall lie open to one another;
6. No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main; any man`s death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind;
