Lithops are succulents that have evolved to avoid being eaten by animals by blending in with pebbles and stones.

Не ходите в собственное прошлое
Не тревожьте память понапрасну
Не вернуть из юности хорошее
Это - и печально и прекрасно.
Don't go into your own past,
Don't trouble your memory in vain
You can't bring back the good things from your youth
And that is both sad and wonderful.
Не ищите нынче очищения
От греха иль глупости нечаянной
Не исправить в прошлом прегрешения
Это - и прекрасно и печально.
Do not seek today to be purified
Of former sin or unintended foolishness
The transgressions of the past can't be redeemed
And that is both sad and wonderful.
