**1. Tenderness vs. Existential Whirlwind** **I. Annensky (Russia)** *"It was on Wallen-Koski... There the shadow of the pines lay obliquely, And the leaves, turning yellow and drying, Falled, fell from the mountains..."* *(Fragility of the Moment)* **R. M. Rilke (Austria)** *"I am spinning in your will, like wine in a cup, I am a splash that crashed on the river stones. You are the night that swallowed me without a sound, But I am your fire! I am your cry for centuries!"* *("Book of Hours" - passion as a crash)* **2. Silence vs. Mediterranean Explosion** **O. Mandelstam (Russia)** *"More tender than tender Your face, Whiter than white Your hand, From the whole world You are detached, And all yours — From the inevitable."* *("Tristia" — love as a secret)* **F. G. Lorca (Spain)** *"Green, how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches. A ship on the sea. And a horse on the mountain. With a shadow on her belt She dreams on the balcony, Green flesh, green hair."* *("Romance sonámbulo" — eroticism of color)*
