Quote
[Brodsky's] first words to me - as I stretched out my hand through the open door to grasp his - were "Cherez porog nel'zia" ("Don't [greet anyone] across the threshold"), quickly followed, with a smile and in heavily-accented English, by "Old Russian custom".
George L. Kline, from his essay “A History of Brodsky’s Ostanovka v pustule and his Selected Poems”, published in Modern Poetry in Translation, New Series, No. 10, 1996

You know, after dark
I'm trying to figure it out by eye
counting the grief from miles away,
the space that separates us.
And the numbers somehow fit into words,
where are they approaching you from?
confusion coming from A,
hope coming from B.
Two travelers, holding a lantern,
moving at the same time in the darkness,
multiplying separation by dawn,
even without meeting in the mind.
Joseph Brodsky
1964
