5.This is a poem by a famous writer , who was born in this city.

I write you down
My wife, my pagan altar,
I play with light fingers and stroke,
My young forest that through winter,
My nerves, unchaste and tender character,
I write your breath and your body down
Music on lined paper.
And to your ear I promise your brand horoscopes
And get ready for world travel
And for a break in some kind of Austria.
But for gods and constellations
Eternal happiness is dead tired,
And I have no house, I have no bed,
I don’t even have birthday flowers for you.
I write down on paper
While you, as an orchard in July, swell and flourish.
