Poem as a gift

Vasily Zhukovsky
To poetry
Wonderful gift of the gods!
About fiery hearts fun and love
About the beauty quiet, soul charming -
Poetry! With you
And sorrow, and poverty, and gloomy exile -
Lose your horror!
In the shade of the oak, over the flow,
Friend friend, with a clear shower,
In the wretched hut for his
Forgetting rock, rocked rock, -
Sings, dreams and - Blessed!
And who, and who is not animated
Your Divine Influence?
Tsiewnitsa is a thoughtful blyazan
Laplanders, wild son of snow,
His misty depression glorifies
And inexperial harmony of poems,
Looking at stormy trees, depicts
And smoky your shala, and the chlad, and the noise of the seas,
And quick running sled
Flying on snow with Plena Raptive.
Happy lots of poor
Ostay, leaning on the plow,
Emptied by slowly with tired oxen -
Sings his forest, his peace meadow,
WHO VERY SRIYS
And the sweetness of winter evenings
When, with the noise of the blizzard, before the focus is brilliant,
In the circle of your sons,
With a drink foam and boiling,
He pours joy in the heart
And peacefully at midnight falls asleep,
Forgetting to the wild brazdes spilled sweat ...
But you who raise heavenly revitalizes
Singers, my soul friends!
In the sad journey of the minute life of this
Torny laze with flowers sleep
And in the ardent hearts, pour your flame!
Yes the sound of your loud lir
The hero, to the glory of the awaken,
Divit and shock the world!
Yes, youth inflamed
From them in delight of tears pour,
Altar of the Fatherland Lobziet
And death for him, as good, expects!
Yes poor worker souls bloom
From your grace songs!
But yes your thunder will hit
In these brutal and depraved,
Which, in shame, with an elevated man,
Innocence, valor and honor, I definitely,
Dare to magnify yourself with demigods! -
Friends of the Heavenly Muses! Pleny a fuss?
Quite minute successes -
Signless praise, kimvalny ringing
empty, -
Despite luxury joy,
Let's go great in the footsteps! -
The path to the immortality of fate is open to us!
Do not coole yourself praise
High pyrote, contemptuous soul, -
Dry itemed to grind!
FaBov's favority for the ghost to chase?
Pet fesbov in a prayer
And the humiliation of Fortune is seduced?
The offspring distributes the crowns and the Ambassador:
Daring your mausoleum into the altar to convert!
Oh glory, hearts admiring!
About the lot sweet - in love
The offspring to live!

POETRY

"... Poetry is a painting that they hear ..."
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)

"Poetry - the music of words"
Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734)

The word "poetry" comes from Greek. Poieo - create, create, build, create.

As soon as pathology disappears, everyone becomes the Creator. Let it be understood as deep as possible: only sick people are devastating. Healthy people are creative. Creativity is a kind of fragrance of real health. When a person is really healthy and intact, creativity becomes his nature, it arises for the thirst for creativity.

Humanity came to the scatter. We lived the life of a one-dimensional person, and it was exhausted. Now we need a richer, three-dimensional human being. I call it three "C", just like three "R" * (three "R" children call three subjects elementary school: Letter, reading and mathematics). The first "C" is consciousness, the second is compassion, the third is the creation, creativity.

Consciousness is a creature, compassion - feeling, creativity - action. In my vision new person Must be all three at the same time. I give you a mustache from the tasks, the greatest calls. You must be meditative as a Buddha, loving like Krishna, creative, like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci. You must be all together, at the same time. Only then will be fulfilled your totality; Otherwise, in you something will miss. And what is missing in you, will make you one-sided, unfulfilled. You can achieve a very high vertex, being one-dimensional, but you will only be top. I would like you to be all the Himalayan ridge, not just a vertex, but the vertices among the peaks.

A one-dimensional person proved its inconsistency. He could not create a beautiful land, could not create paradise on earth. He was defeated, a complete defeat! He created several beautiful people, but could not transform all humanity, could not raise the level of consciousness of all mankind. Only a few individuality became enlightened. This will no longer help. We need more enlightened people enlightened three-dimensional.

Determination of a new person

Buddha was not a poet - but new humanity, people who will now become Buddhas will be poets. When I say "poets", I do not mean that they will write poems - you must be poetic. Your life should be poetic, your approach should be poetic.

The logic of dry, the poetry is alive. Logic can not dance, it is impossible. See the logic of the dancing anyway, what to see the dancing Mahatma Gandhi! It would look like a ridiculous. Poetry can dance; Poetry is the dance of your heart. Logic can not love. She can talk about love, but can not love; Love seems irrational. Only poetry can love, only poetry can take a jump in love.

The logic is cold, very cold; It is good in terms of mathematics, but it is inappropriate to use to humanity. Becoming too logical, humanity will disappear; Then there will be only numbers, not human beings - interchangeable numbers ...

Poetry in love gives you a depth, warmth. You become melting, you lose coldness. You become more humane.

A person must be creative. If your love is only a feeling that is not transformed into action, it will not affect most of humanity. You have to protort the love of reality, materialize it.

Here are your three dimensions: creature, feeling, action.
The action consists in creativity, all kinds of creativity - music, poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture, science, technology.
The feeling consists in everything that is aesthetic, love, beauty.
A creature consists in meditation, awareness, consciousness.

Face poets

Poets, thin Cardiac connection -
We love the energy of love.
The awareness of God without having
Words in the bowl of conscience are shed.

We are beads on the rays of light,
Constellation in the sky, on the body crosses.
We are wind waiting for summer
With a welcome to move the trees of sheets.

Without fear of the page open -
Look into the soul through the lines-eyes.
And what kind of face is not recognizable?
Today our faces are the rhymes of the image.

The rain of thoughts and words fell on the poet. If the Spirit of God lights up in the poet, then God himself participates in this process. And God mixes the words elected by the poet in the consciousness of his soul, the many clay potters, and then the poet with a poet, and the poet's sculpture, creates his trembling, illusory, flickering, if you want, live tissue of life. Here is an example, flowers trembling in our own Lilac Mares. Ostropy sage in the image of Buratino began like this:
« The artist portrayed us ... "
This somewhat foolish principle of Mandelstama acquires a bulk state when the end of the line is attached to it: "Deep fainting of lilac." On the screen of associations instantly appear pictures of Impressionists and Russian artists and lilac - the orezhelovy, wet, poured life and juice. This is all lilac, terry, - mapping happiness. Fine enough! But, suddenly, the genius speaks and the "Faust" of Dante arises and the hell is joined, and the Great is created:
« And colors sound steps
On the canvas, like a screech, put ... "The conversational simplicity of life disappears here and poetry and fate arises. According to Pasternaku:
« And here ends art
And the soil and fate breathe ... "

Words are light and the thought of the soul is submired,
And the heart bowl is full of good.
Poetry of love for the world of beneficial
I'm doing her with a stray pen.
Sounds noise, all wishes will be cooled,
And the saving peace will come to us.
And there will be someone who will understand my messages
It is a clean, enlightened soul.
Now I will leave quietly, imperceptibly
In the distant world of love and eternal dreams.
And the thought will be stored inconspicuous
At the bottom of the seas of spilled my tears.

How sweet to soar over the world of fuss,
Wings of truth in tact with Maha's eternity.
And in the world of music, works and beauty
Write poems, plates with a pen mary.
Let me nobody, let my life be empty,
And only laughter I deserved and humiliate,
But I believe that I will smile a dream
And God's soul will give me comfort.
Floating I am a beauty of Divine Wine
And the light of the soul let's in my mind.
Forgive forever the great, eternal sleep,
Leaving the world his joy and suffering.

What is my life?

What is my life? - Beautiful sleep?
Poetry a great start?
Heaven punishing law?
Ile Truth looking tired?
What is my life? - Last year?
Friends Crumpled Correction?
On all the questions only "yes"?
Il from the mind of a big misconception?
What is my life? - End El Infinity?
Solving wise Ile Brad blind?
Short MiG or Holy Eternity?
Head's suffering or heaven?

Spirit of poetry

I do not read poems out loud
And I hear the Universal Spirit
Sings, stories of wondrous dreams
I propose;
I, as a diligent secretary,
Turning on the consciousness of the lantern,
I am writing about him, as if myself
Katrer Idry ...

At midnight, in the routine of the day
He is not lagging behind me
What I do not see,
He sweeps
All signs, symbols and dreams,
Autumn motifs, spring,
And the world of Divine Love
I opens.

And there, in the heavenly embroidery
My spirit paints me
Who thought created light
And the word has become
Living movement of being
Where, by anyone I could be ...
But, touched by the secret of this,
I am writing from the beginning ...

© B. page @ Nnik

Soul Poet.

MiG eternity is approaching
And it becomes completely distant ...

Alluring time - silence,
Open for the Duma and Dreams.
Glowing gullible shadows
And the window is lazily at the window ...

When the paths are diverged
Between reality and light,
Your soul must come
Purchase one, fly, fly,
Meaningfully to the soul of the poet.

But he is inxicated with love,
And remains unavailable,
There are no steps, in the sky he,
And the highest mind of captive,
He is revealed and occasionally.

The spiritual world will open light,
The soul of excellent flight
And now the poet is born,
No matter where, in a circle planets,
Or universe turn.

In forgotten memory places,
On the water of the endless,
Magic midnight dreams,
Other, unknown worlds,
The poet's soul will be eternal.

And how many more people who, although they do not comply with poems, can say that poetry lives in their soul. Congratulations to each other with such a wonderful holiday!

"... Poetry is a painting that they hear ..."

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)

"Poetry - the music of words"

Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734)

World Poetry Day is celebrated annually on March 21. Poetry is probably one of the most ingenious achievements of humanity. To pour your feelings in a poetic form, imprinted in the rhyme to the reefness, to dream of the future and remember the past, at the same time turning to millions and remaining alone with them, - only poetry, the greatest of the arts created by man is capable of it.

Not many become great and famous poets, but many at least once in their lives tried to compose poems. After all, most people are far from alien to those "beautiful gusts of the soul", which encourages a person to take a handle, a piece of paper and start creating.

The magic power of the poetic word is able to have a huge impact on any person. Let's remember that every person who heard in their lives heard in his life was the words of a lullaby song. This is truly the brightest and excellent poetry.

In the history of Russian culture, poetry traditionally played a big role.

Russian Earth has the right to be proud of great poets whose creativity is of world importance. But 2015 - the year is special, this is the year of literature and the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Therefore, we dedicate this article to military poets and military poetry.

History of World Poetry Day

For the first time, an American poetess Teres Webb was performed for the first time with the initiative of the festival institution in the mid-30s of the 20th century. She proposed to celebrate the International Day of Poetry on October 15, in honor of the date of birth of the famous poet and philosopher Vergil. It should be noted that her proposal has found a positive response in the hearts of many people: By 1951, on October 15, the National Day of Poetry was celebrated not only in 38 US states, but also in European countries. The celebrations had an unofficial character, and the date of their holding was not fixed in the calendar of memorable days.

Only November 15, 1999, UNESCO, at the 30th Conference, adopted a resolution on the establishment international Daywhich was supposed to "breathe the second life" into the world poetic movement. For the first time, the holiday was celebrated on March 21 in 2000, in Paris, it is there is a UNESCO headquarters.

Date - March 21, Spring Equinox Day in the Northern Hemisphere, was chosen as a symbol of the renewal of nature and the creative nature of the human spirit.

The main goal of the international day of poetry was to emphasize the greatest importance that plays literature in the cultural life of modern society, combine the poets of the whole world and give them the right and the opportunity to declare themselves!

It is believed that the most ancient verses of the hymn were created in the 23rd century to our era. The author of the poetess - the poetess-priestess of En-Hedu-Ana (En-Hedu-Ana), which is known only to be the daughter of the Akkadian king of Sargon, who conquered the UR (territory of Iran). En-Wedding-Ana wrote about the lunar God of Nanne and his daughter, the goddess of the morning star Inanna. The hymns of Enhateda were considered sacred.

The poetic form right up to the Renaiss Age was revered in Europe as one of the main conditions of beauty and was a practically the only tool for turning the word into art. In Russian literature in the "Golden Age" of Russian literature, all the fiction is often called, in contrast to the uneximiced.

What and how poetry expresses

The word "poetry" comes from Greek. Poieo - create, create, build, create.

At all times, people loved and believed poets. After all, poetry is created by feelings, emotions, imagination of the poet. The ancient Greeks meted under poetry human speech, in all its manifestations. This is a prose, and theatrical declamation, and inspired speech and philosophical dispute and, of course, poems. Currently, poetry seems to be something beautiful, unusual and this is actually so. Only one who knows how to see the elevated over commonplace can write poetry, it can immerse themselves in the imaginary peace, has a fine spiritual organization and depth of feelings.

Poetry allows you to enjoy the word, gives rise to strong, heartfelt words that have a special energy subordinating our imagination and fascinating. This great power They breathed her poet, and he draws her from the world around us, perceiving and feeling the power of the wind and the sun, hearing the melody of the raid waves and the rustling forest, finding it in the disturbing suspension of love.

After all, the poet completely looks at our world and is explained by understandable and inspired images. Our wonderful Russian is obliged to writers and poets by the appearance of many words. The word "substance" came up with Lomonosov, "Industry" belongs to Karamzin, and the "dullness" of Saltykov-generous. Thanks to the poetic insight, Igor Northerners, we met with the word "launch".

Poetry - forever young, trembling and beautiful love of mankind! On our planet, not finding people who would not be familiar with her.

Of course, poets have varying degrees Talent, but sometimes a genius is born like Pushkin, who give humanity immortal works, the centuries embarrassing the imagination of people and make thinking and feel. Poets remain alive witness time.

If you step into the abyss of beautiful words, then a completely new world will open before us!

Poetry, laid war ...

It is said that when the guns are rich, the muses are silent. But from the first to the last day of the war, the voice of poets did not stop. And the cannonada could not drown it. The readers never listened to the voice of the poets so sensitive. Famous English journalist Alexander Vert, who spent almost the whole war in the Soviet Union, in the book "Russia in the war of 1941 -1945" testified:

Russia is also perhaps the only country where the poems read millions of people, and such poets, like Simonov and Surkov, read every time during the war.

The shocks of the war gave birth to a whole generation of young poets, which then called front-line, their names are now widely known: Sergey Narovkatov, Mikhail Lukonin, Mikhail Lviv, Alexander Mezhirov, Julia Drunina, Sergey Orlov, Boris Slutsky, David Samoilov, Evgeny Vinokuriy Married, Bulat Okudzhava, Nikolai Panchenko, Anna Akhmatova, Musa Jalil, Petrus Broj, Olga Bergoltz and many others. Poems created during the war years are marked by the sign of the harsh truth of life, the truth of human feelings and experiences. In them, sometimes, even sharp, even visiting to the dwelling rapist and offenders, the humanistic beginning sounds power. All kinds of poetic weapons: and fiery invited publicism, and sincere lyrics of the Soldier's heart, and the caustic satire, and large forms of lyrical and lyrical epic poems - found their expression in the collective experience of the military years.

Poetry (Of course, the best things) did a lot to ensure that there are a sense of responsibility in the formidable, catastrophic circumstances, an understanding of what is from them, from everyone, it is from him - nor from anyone, no one can shift responsibility - The fate of the people and the country depends.

Simonova Poems, Surkov, Isakovsky taught to fight, overcome military and rear tires: fear, death, hunger, destroy. Moreover, they helped not only fight, but also live. It is in a harsh military, more precisely, in the most difficult first months of the military suffering, almost all poetic masterpieces of Simonov were created: "You remember, Alyosha, the roads of Smolensk region ...", "Wait for me, and I will come back", "if we were with your power ..." "Major brought a boy on the booth ..." The person supplied in exceptional circumstances subjected to the most cruel tests, re-recognized the world and from this he himself became different: more difficult, courageous, richer by social emotions, zurcha and more accurately in the assessments, both the movements of history and his own personality. War changed people. They are now differently looking at the world, and on themselves. "I am the other", "I'm not the one, not the one in Moscow before the war," the poems of K. Simonov ("Meeting on Alien") of 1945 is alleged.

Unusual chinel, bitterness, maternal tears, and then first death, and "bombing all day" - all this together is completed by the phrase, in which surprise sounds, and the refusal of illusions, and irony, and, above all, maturity, calmly - Men's understanding of truth:

Yes, the war is as we wrote her -
This is bitter truth ...

The courage and love are inseparable in the heart of the soldier, and probably, therefore, the poems of the war years produce the impression of special integrity and harmony. We are united in front of us, and this is the character of that person, who survived in the first battles with fascism, and then defeated the enemy. In one Chekhovsky story, it says that "from a sad song pulled free life." So from the sad and separate "dugout" blows by force, negascique love for a woman, to life, to his native land. As if in the firing frost of the first military winter, breathing was heard from the distant, but inevitable spring!

"We are waiting for me, and I will return to all deaths called ..." - The poem K. Simonov called upon everything - to hope and wait! And to believe the front-line in the fact that it is waiting for him very much. This faith will largely feed its courage and durability. The work took for a living conviction in the inevitability of a meeting of people drawn to each other. The phenomenon "Wait for me", cut, reprinted and rewritable, sent from the front home and from the rear - to the front, the phenomenon of the poem, written in August 1941 on someone else's dacha in Peredelkino, addressed to quite concrete, earthly, but at this moment - a distant woman, Coming beyond poetry. "Wait for me" - a kind of prayer, spoken of fate, a fragile bridge between life and death, and it is the support of this bridge. It is predicted that the war will be long and cruel, and guess that a person is stronger than war. If you like, if you believe.

The poem "In the front-line forest" M. Isakovsky is highlighted by rare cheerfulness, although the reminder of peaceful days and aggravated the drama of the existing situation, and the poet did not hide: tens of thousands of people went every day consciously and meaningful to death. In the richest poetry of the war years, no one, perhaps, did not declare with such marginal frankness that there are waves of those who listens at this moment of Waltz in the front-line forest. It is not surprising that most of the songs grew in the trenches born of war, such as the "blue handkerchiefs", "Dark Night", "Beating in the closestry of the fire ...", "In the Forest of the front-line", "Ogonos", were purely lyrical. These songs warmed the soldier's heart, extending in the cold wind of severe military life.

But the main songs of the Military Songs on the verses of V.Lebedeva -kumach "Sacred War" and M.Sakovsky "Katyusha".

Military poetry with a female face

Olga Berggolts (1910 - 1975)

During the Great Patriotic War Berggolts, staying in his hometown, all 900 days of blockade, worked on the Leningrad Radio (the speeches were included in the book. "Says Leningrad", 1946, 1st ed. It was seized due to the so-called. Leningradsky affair after the defeat of the magazines " Star "and" Leningrad "). Often, exhausted from hunger, spent the night in the studio, but never lost the power of the Spirit, supporting his appeals to Leningrads confidential and courageous verses. During the war, O. Bergholts created his best poetic works dedicated to the heroism of the defenders of the city: "Leningrad Poem", the poem "February diary", poems included in the book "Leningrad Notebook", "Leningrad", "Leningrad Diary", and other works . Berggolts leveled to the existing army, her poems were published on the pages of newspapers, on the posters of the "TASS windows". Lines O. Bergoltz carved on the granite stele of the Piskarevsky Memorial Cemetery: "No one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten."

Yulia Drunina (1924 - 1991)

When the Patriotic War began, at the age of sixteen, he is recorded in a voluntary sanitary squad at Rocca (the district society of the Red Cross) and works by a nurse in the eye hospital. Participates in the construction of defensive structures under Mozhaisk, it falls under the bombing and, fulfilling its direct duties, becomes a nurse infantry shelf. Fought, was injured.

Vera Inbert (1890 - 1972)

After spending three years in Blockadny Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War, Inbera displaced the life and struggle of residents in verses and prose. Her husband, professor of medicine Ilya Davydovich Stasun, worked in the 1st Medical Institute in a precipitated city.

In 1946 he received the Stalin Prize for the blockade poem "Pulkovsky Meridian". He was awarded three orders and medals.

It is impossible not to recall other women poets of those times such as Aakhmatov, M. Aliger, R. Kazakova.

The lyric poetry of the Great Patriotic War period is a bright, diverse, wide on the spectrum of human feelings expressed in it. She was distinguished by the passion of civilian and height of thoughts, directed towards the struggle for the freedom of their homeland. Truly the poets of war knew the "One Duma of Power, one - but a fiery passion" - will to victory. Walking along with the warring people on the roads of the war, they carefully peered into his face, listened to his speech and in this constant intimacy found power for their verse.

Courage

We know that now lies on the scales
And what is done now.
Hour courage struck on our clock,
And courage will not leave us.

Not scary under the bullets are dead to lie down,
Do not hurt without bed.
And we will keep you, Russian speech,
Great Russian Word.

Free and honest to carry you
And grandchildren give, and save from captivity
Forever! (A. Akhmatova, 1941)

The poetic journalism of the period of war - the phenomenon of its scope is almost unreflected. The scale of newspaper work (and in the newspapers, all journalistic verses were initially and published) were truly ambitious. It suffices to say that, for example, in 1944, 821 military newspaper printed, and the total one-time circulation was 3195,000 copies.

With newspaper strips, twisted nights,
Still missing smoke front
Satire, song, slogan, verses
I come to my readers, "Nikolay Brown wrote.

And so might say all poets-publicists.

Poetic journalism was an indispensable and combat participant of every day of the military suffering. In the best works, she combined the sharp deposit of a journalistic form, the deepest hatred of the enemy with hot humanism, proletarian internationalism, with the deepest faith in the celebration of humanity. This magnificent and complex alloy and gave poetic journalism of the period of the Great Patriotic War with the colossal agitation power of the impact.

Eternal art

Poetry lived, lives and will live infinitely long. If earlier it was the complex writings of ancient Greek poets, where the game of words and associations were confused and knocked down from thoughts reading, then it was embodied in the poetry of the Middle Ages and silver century. Well, if we speak in the language of today, then along with classical poetry, the poems are embodied in modern, youth art.

Poetry, "the UNESCO decision says," can be a response to the most sharp and deep spiritual issues of a modern person - but for this it is necessary to attract to it as widely as possible public attention. In addition, World Poetry Day should give the opportunity to broader small publishing houses, whose efforts, mainly comes to readers creativity of modern poets, literary clubs, reviving the eternal tradition of a lively sounding poetic word.

This day, UNESCO considers, is intended to serve as a positive image of poetry as truly modern art, open people in the media.

Imagine our life without poetry ... without congratulations on holidays, without songs, without Pushkin, Lermontov, Shakespeare, modern authors .... It will be a boring life without an explosion of emotions, expressed by simple letters on paper, without that little mysticism, when the same words, but written in a certain order, can be touched to tears. The word power has a special energy that is fond of and submitting our imagination.

Vasily Zhukovsky

To poetry

Wonderful gift of the gods!

About fiery hearts fun and love
About the beauty quiet, soul charming -

Poetry! With you

And sorrow, and poverty, and gloomy exile -

Lose your horror!

In the shade of the oak, over the flow,
Friend friend, with a clear shower,
In the wretched hut for his
Forgetting rock, rocked rock, -
Sings, dreams and - Blessed!
And who, and who is not animated
Your Divine Influence?

Tsiewnitsa is a thoughtful blyazan

Laplanders, wild son of snow,

His misty depression glorifies
And inexperial harmony of poems,
Looking at stormy trees, depicts
And smoky your shala, and the chlad, and the noise of the seas,

And quick running sled

Flying on snow with Plena Raptive.

Happy lots of poor
Ostay, leaning on the plow,

Emptied by slowly with tired oxen -

Sings his forest, his peace meadow,
WHO VERY SRIYS
And the sweetness of winter evenings

When, with the noise of the blizzard, before the focus is brilliant,

In the circle of your sons,

With a drink foam and boiling,

He pours joy in the heart

And peacefully at midnight falls asleep,

Forgetting to the wild brazdes spilled sweat ...
But you who raise heavenly revitalizes

Singers, my soul friends!

In the sad journey of the minute life of this
Torny laze with flowers sleep
And in the ardent hearts, pour your flame!

Yes the sound of your loud lir
The hero, to the glory of the awaken,
Divit and shock the world!
Yes, youth inflamed
From them in delight of tears pour,
Altar of the Fatherland Lobziet

And death for him, as good, expects!
Yes poor worker souls bloom

From your grace songs!
But yes your thunder will hit
In these brutal and depraved,

Which, in shame, with an elevated man,
Innocence, valor and honor, I definitely,
Dare to magnify yourself with demigods! -
Friends of the Heavenly Muses! Pleny a fuss?

Quite minute successes -

Signless praise, kimvalny ringing

empty, -
Despite luxury joy,
Let's go great in the footsteps! -

The path to the immortality of fate is open to us!

Do not coole yourself praise

High pyrote, contemptuous soul, -

Dry itemed to grind!

FaBov's favority for the ghost to chase?
Pet fesbov in a prayer

And the humiliation of Fortune is seduced?

The offspring distributes the crowns and the Ambassador:
Daring your mausoleum into the altar to convert!

Oh glory, hearts admiring!
About the lot Sweet - in the love of the offspring to live!
