who could forget the word now

the wishing to say is forgotten

the thought staked to its variations 

caught in stanzas

<excerpt><center>I have forgotten the 

word I wished to say, and my thought, unembodied, 

returns to the realm of shadows (Hanfmann & Vakar, 1962) 


</center>I forgot the word that I wanted to say, 

And thought, unembodied, returns 

to the hall of shadows (Collected Works of L.S. Vygotsky, 1978) 


I forgot the word 

which I wanted to say, and the thought, 

lacking material form, will return to 

the chamber of shadows (A. N. Leont'ev (1978)) 


I wanted to utter a word, but that word 

I cannot remember; and the bodiless thought 

will now return to the palace of shadows (Vygotsky, Thought and Speech 

in Saporta, 1961) 


The word I forgot 

Which once I wished to say 

and voiceless thought 

returns to shadows' chamber (Vygotsky, Thought and Speech 

in A. Kozulin, 1994).
