Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

The sage lectured brilliantly.
Before him, two images:
”Now this one is a devil,
And this one is me.”
He turned away.
Then a cunning pupil
Changed the positions.

Turned the sage again:
”Now this one is a devil,
And this one is me.”
The pupils sat, all grinning,
And rejoiced in the game.
But the sage was a sage.

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