Afanasy Fet — The Venus of Milo

Immaculately and very bravely,

Beaming with nudity till waist,

Her body blooms divine and heavenly

With everlastng charm and chaste. 

Under this canopy of hair,

So simple and a little raised

There's much bliss, so proud and fair,

In this unearthly lovely face!

That's how afire with passion now

Enveloped in the drift of sea 

And with an air of triamph and power

You look into eternity.
