Clothed In Beauty Poem by Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov
Clothed In Beauty
As if chiseled, a fruit-laden branch
Hangs in my garden, asleep - so low...
The trees sleep - and dream? - in moonlight;
And the mystery of their life is near, near...
Even if we cannot grasp it,
The mute language is still intelligible:
They use our beauty to express
How we are one amidst rays and spots of light.
And the tremor of any life's creation
Reveals itself in a lovely form;
And the variance of different things is sweetened
By shared beauty. Multiply it!
And the world will be like this unstirring garden,
Where everything heeds a harmonious silence:
Both stem and flower yield to the dear Earth;
Both flower and stem listen to the Moon.
the variance of different things is sweetened By shared beauty. Multiply it! - the mystery of their life is beautiful

The exquisite precision of the first stanza is dazzling. how wonderful to have written the exceptional lines As if chiseled, a fruit-laden branch Hangs in my garden, asleep - so low... The trees sleep - and dream? - in moonlight; And the mystery of their life is near, near...
