Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

I stood upon a highway,
And, behold, there came
Many strange peddlers.
To me each one made gestures,
Holding forth little images, saying,
”This is my pattern of God.
Now this is the God I prefer.”

But I said, ”Hence!
Leave me with mine own,
And take you yours away;
I can’t buy of your patterns of God,
The little gods you may rightly prefer.”

1. Two or three angels
2. A man toiled on a burning road
3. Love walked alone
4. Charity thou art a lie
5. "It was wrong to do this," said the angel
