The Birth of a Smile

By Osip Mandelstam, 8 December 1936-17 January 1937

When a child first begins to smile The bitter and the sweet part company, And the sober limits of that smile  Open, oceanic, into anarchy.

To him, everything’s unbeatably good:  He plays, in glory, with the corners of his lips — And he catches up a rainbow seam To learn the nature, infinite, of things.

On its own two feet, from water, matter rose — An influx, an arriving, from the mouths of snails — And an instant of Atlantis strikes the eyes, In a languid pose of praise and of surprise.

Translated by Andrew Davis

“The people need poetry that will be their own secret

To keep them awake forever, And bathe them in the bright-haired wave of its breathing.”

― Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938)

But on the lips, like black ice, burns […] remembrance.
