I could not among the misty clouds <br />Your unstable and painful image catch, <br />'Oh, my God', I promptly said aloud, <br />Having not a thought these words to fetch. <br /> <br />As a bird -- an immense bird and sound -- <br />Holly Name flew out of my chest. <br />And ahead the mist mysterious crowds, <br />And the empty cage behind me rests.<br /><br />Osip Emilevich Mandelstam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-could-not-among-the-misty-clouds/
