Poet laureate and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky recites a poem. From The United States of Poetry episode Love and Sex. Copyright Washington Square Arts, 1995. I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish you sat on the sofa and I sat near. The handkerchief could be yours, the tear could be mine, chin bound. Though it could be, of course, the other way around. I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish we were in my car, and youd shift the gear. Wed find ourselves elsewhere, on an unknown shore. Or else wed repair to where weve been before. I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish I knew no astronomy when stars appear, when the moon skims the water that sighs and shifts in its slumber. I wish it were still a quarter to dial your number. I wish you were here, dear, in this hemisphere, as I sit on the porch sipping a beer. Its evening; the sun is setting, boys shout and gulls are crying. Whats the point of forgetting if its followed by dying?. Затравленный безработный, оказавшийся за границей, непризнанный гений своего времени. Иосиф Бродский,, одно из ярких имен в российской поэзии.
