Giovanni Battista Pergolesi [1710-1736] - Stabat Mater: “Fac, Ut Ardeat Cor Meum”
Магдалина билась и рыдала,
Ученик любимый каменел,
А туда, где молча Мать стояла,
Так никто взглянуть и не посмел
Анна Ахматова “Распятие”
Magdalena sobbed, and the disciple,
He whom Jesus loved, stood petrified.
But there, where Mother stood in silence,
No one durst so much as lift their eyes
Anna Akhmatova “Crucifixion” [translated by Robin Kemball]
