The poetic penguin café (1.5)
From needle-like pestilential chalices
we drink the obsession of causes,
with hooks we touch greatness
infinitesimal, almost a gentle death.
And before the tangle of rods
the child remains silent —
the universe sleeps, in the cradle
of small eternity.
Osip Mandel'štam (1891 – 1938)
