Dear colleagues,

In an essay on Venedikt Erofeev, Olga Sedakova quotes the following lines,
which she attributes to Khlebnikov:

Безумно русских глаз игла
Вонзилась в нас, проста, светла.
В нем взор разверзнут
Каких-то страшных деревень.
И лица других после него -- ревень.

(Bezumno russkikh glaz igla
Vonzilas' v nas, prosta, svetla.
V nem vzor razverznut
Kakikh-to strashnykh dereven'.
I litsa drugikh posle nego -- reven'.)



Might anyone know what poem these lines are from?  My searches have not
yielded anything conclusive!



Thank you,

Sarah Kapp
