Perhaps
Remembering
is perhaps
the most torturous way
of forgetting
and perhaps
the most friendly way
of relieving
this anguish

die qualvollste Art

der Linderung

The majority of the works that you find here have been translated by the author (i.e. myself) into English in order to throw some light for non-Russian speakers on those queer verses I'm involved in. Though I did my best to remain within the metre of a verse, in most cases I had to give up the rhyme - for the sake of the idea.
