International Socialism, Spring 1962

 

Theo Melville

Memoriam: Natalia Sedova

 

From International Socialism (1st series), No.8, Spring 1962, p.14.
Thanks to Ted Crawford & the late Will Fancy.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

 

Nothing will erase those times.
I can only mourn the melancholy
of a rabid epoch,
and magnanimity like the snow.

The ultimate solitude
has prevailed,
complete as a Pampas sky.

Frail among the lesions,
there is no more remembering
Natalia Sedova.

Suddenly it is late,
and hope is circumspect.
