Vladimir Solovyov - Pregnant with vastnesses!


What is, what was, what shall forever be -
All, all was held here in one steady gaze...
The seas and rivers blue beneath me,
Distant woods, snow-capped peaks.

I saw all, and all was one --
A single image of womanly beauty...
Pregnant with vastnesses!
Before me, in me -- only You.


-Vladimir Solovyev, Three Meetings, 1875
