Hello there!
I’m Diana from English Section and I invite you to enjoy life with reading poems. This season we are reading John Keats amazing poems: “THE HUMAN SEASONS”, “FOR FANNY BRAWNE”. You should click, read original texts and make your poetic translation! I’m waiting for your variants on the Web-Journalist or you might send them on my email: poemswithdiana@gmail.com! Enjoy poetry! Enjoy autumn!
The Human Seasons
Four Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring’s honied cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness—to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.
For Fanny Brawne
The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
Sweet voice, sweet lips, soft hand, and softer breast,
Warm breath, light whisper, tender semitone,
Bright eyes, accomplished shape, and lang’rous waist!
Faded the flower and all its budded charms,
Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,
Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,
Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise!
Vanished unseasonably at shut of eve,
When the dusk holiday—or holinight—
Of fragrant-curtained love begins to weave
The woof of darkness thick, for hid delight;
But, as I’ve read love’s missal through today,
He’ll let me sleep, seeing I fast and pray.
Thank you very much for sharing those wonderful poems with us!
Hi, Diana! Here’s my story.
Сменяются периоды в году,
В душе у человека та же смена.
Весна приходит, вносит чистоту,
И красоту, ступающую смело.
А за весной — приходит лета час:
Подслащенные медом размышленья,
О молодости, о значеньи фраз
И о мечтах, подвергнутых сомненью.
Его душа есть осень. И крыло
Он складывает, больше не нуждаясь
В полетах. И в туман его влекло,
В ту бледность, что теперь ему осталась.
Его зима — граница для всего,
Природы смерть, и, стало быть, его…
Hi, Diana! I have really enjoyed your invitation to try myself in a wonderful challenging activity! Your assignment made me think about life and death, about the meaning of life, I would like to get to know you better and discuss these topics. Thank you, dear!
Сезоны души
Четырьмя сезонами полнится год,
Четыре сезона в душе у людей.
Первый — цветущая весна, когда узорчатое предвидение
Берёт всё возвышенное в свой лёгкий размах.
Второй — лето, когда юности воск пережёвывает себя,
И мечтания так близки к недостижимому небу!
А в душе — тихие бухты…
Третий — осень, когда закрытые кулисы
Скрывают надвигающуюся туманность
И поджигают её.
Четвёртый — зима, когда жизнь закрывается
Частоколом небытия,
И умирает природа души…
It has been awesome! I think it’s so important to share poems with people. In my opinion all kinds of art are momentous. But as for me poetry helps us to understand ourselves and the world around. Thank you for your interest.
Diana, your section has been a great possibility to create something new and make people love poetry. All members of our group got acquainted with beautiful poems of John Keats’ lyrics and we became interested in English-Russian-Belarusian translation. Thanks a million!
Dear Diana! These poems made us think about life stories. When we read them, we got inspirited. With the first words of great poems we felt the endless beautiful people’s love. Thank you a lot for producing such a feeling!
It was a good experience in practicing poetic translation.
Your Mr. Danilenko, Miss Gabec, Miss Pilipovich-Sushchyts.

Сезоны чалавека
Чатыры сезоны запаўняюць год
І ў чалавека пачуццяў усяго чатыры
У яго ёсць Вясна юрлівая, якая ахоплівае ўсё наваколле
У яго ёсць Лета, якое з любімай жуйкай маладосці
разважае, а потым спіць каля ціхай бухты
У яго ёсць Восень, хавае крыллі яна, задаволена бачыць свет,
А потым ідзе ў туман, у бледнасць, з якімі яна засталася сам-насам
У яго ёсць Зіма, а дакладней ёсць слабасць.
Не ўхіліцца ніхто ад кары Зімы.

4 сезона в нашем году,
4 сезона в сознании человека.
Есть живая весна, когда она фантастически принимает всю красоту с легким порывом.
Есть лето, когда можно смаковаться веселую жвачку молодости,
До тех пор, пока душа не растворится и не станет частью себя.
Есть осенние порты и гавани отдыха,
Когда усталые крылья складываются и можно посмотреть на туман в безделье: позволить справедливым вещам быстро проходить мимо.
У зимы тоже бледная неловкость, когда можно забыть свой смертный характер.
Hi, Diana!
First of all, I would like to say thank you. You are really talented girl and you inspire me very much.
I would like to have some more practice in my English and I think that it will be nice if you give us new challenges in order to improve our English skills.
In addition I would like to say that the poem translations of our colleagues are really enjoyable for reading.
With great respect, Dasha. ❤️
Thank you, Diana. The project is interesting and useful. We can be invited to be involved in your new tasks! See you soon!)
Предлагаю свой вариант перевода стихотворения «The fanny Brawne».
Джон Китс «Любовь прошла»
Уходит день, забрав все прелести с собою:
Твой сладкий голос, губы, руки, грудь…
Дыхание тёплое и шёпот самый тихий
Глаза кристальные, в них посмотрю ещё когда-нибудь.
Наши цветы завяли в миг до расставания,
Уже не помню, что такое красота.
Мог наблюдать все прелести только в тебе я,
Теперь же всё поблекло навсегда.
Не вижу света даже в самый ясный вечер
Молитвы не спасают мою жизнь
Из-за любви теперь я слишком покалечен.
И жажду смерти, день за днём, изо дня в день.
Я почитаю книгу о любви на вечер
И лишь она подарит сон с тобой навечно.
