Try to translate them into Russian.

1.
Words strain,
Crack and sometimes break, under the burden,
Under the tension, slip, slide, perish,
Decay with imprecision, will not stay in place,
Will not stay still.

(From "Collected Poems")

2.
An every phrase
And sentence that is right
(where every word is at home),
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together
Every phrase and every sentence is
an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph.
(From "Four Quartets")
