Passersby in the Rain, a 1935 photograph by Brassai (1899-1984)
Tears, by Fyodor Tyutchev (born 5 December, 1803; died 27 July, 1873)
Tears, human tears, that pour forth beyond telling,
Early and late, in the dark, out of sight,
While the world goes on its way all unwittingly,
Numberless, stintless, you fall unremittingly,
Pouring like rain, the long rain that is welling
Endlessly, late in the autumn at night.
(translated from the Russian by Babette Deutsch)
