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. If there is a witness to my little life
3. The successful man has thrust himself
4. If I should cast off this tattered coat
5. Ay, workman, make me a dream
