Dear all,

A friend translating a book from French has asked me a question about Blok.
Can anyone point me to the original?
³The two lines in question (probably the first) come from Alexander Blok's
poem 'Nemesis' , first published in 1914. My translation from the French
would be: 'O you my unfathomable city,/Why were you born on an abyss?'²

Best Wishes to all for 2008!

Robert
