Poem of the day

med_cat: (cat in dress)

В пятнадцать лет, продутый на ветру
Газетных и товарищеских мнений,
Я думал: «Окажись, что я не гений, —
Я в тот же миг от ужаса умру!..»

Садясь за стол, я чувствовал в себе
Святую безоглядную отвагу,
И я марал чернилами бумагу,
Как будто побеждал ее в борьбе!

And friends' opinions having blown their windy way through me,
I thought, "If it turns out I'm not a genius--
I will die that same instant, of horror!..."

Sitting down at the writing desk, I felt in myself
A hallowed reckless bravery,
And I smeared ink upon the paper,
As if I were subduing the paper in a fight!
