It was one of the coldest januaries ever recorded .

这是有记载的最冷的个1月。

Instead , the russian-born poet longed for cold . In a series of rented apartments over a series of januaries toward the end of his too-short life , he came , froze and wrote .

相反，这位在俄罗斯出生的诗人追逐寒冷，总是在每一个酷寒的一月来到威尼斯，在一个个出租公寓里，感受寒冷，并写作，直到他短促生命的终了。
