OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Володимир Кауфман. "Писанка — екслібрисанка" офорт. Volodymyr Kaufman: "Pysanka-exlibris-anka". CHRIST IS RISEN! ON THIS EASTER HOLIDAY WE EXTEND OUR GREETINGS TO HONORARY PRESIDENTS LIDIA BURACHYNSKY; TO ALL HONORARY MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION; TO MEMBERS-AT-LARGE AND TO THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP; TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN UKRAINE; AND TO ALL UKRAINIANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL WOMEN’S LEAGUE of AMERICA ASTERS Thus in the garden did the asters stay And their September dreaming longed for May.... But cold rain every morning on them swept And there behind a bush a chill wind wept... Around them, a vast prison, spread the plain, They saw their hopes to live were all in vain; They bound their heads and died.... As if to flout, The sun above their corpses then blazed out! Oleksander Oles (Translated into English verse by C.H. Andrusyshen and Watson Kirkconnell. From "The Ukrainian Poets" 1963, University of Toronto Press.) At midnight, in the garden, asters brown Each washed herself in dew, put on her crown, And waited for the rosy morn to break And spread our rainbow rainment for her sake. The asters in their drowziness were dreaming Of silken grasses and of sunshine gleaming, A fairy region would their fancies bring Of fadeless flowers in eternal spring.
