You called my likeness out of stone,  
You breathed God's fire into it.  
My double,  
He is alien to me, other and yet alike.  
Here he stands, clear and stern,  
And his featurelessness frightens me:  
Some god  
Revealed in the primordial stone.

*Literal translation*

**Maximilian Voloshin, 1911**
