Among the worlds, the sparkling spheres,
The name of One Star only I repeat…
It’s not because I love Her dearly
But just because I pine with others.
And when by doubt I’m troubled
I pray to Her alone for answers.
It’s not because She gives off light,
But just because with Her I don’t need light.
(Innokentii Fedorovich Annensky)
