Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

I met a seer.
He held in his hands
The book of wisdom.
”Sir,” I addressed him,
”Let me read.”
”Child -- ” he began.
”Sir,” I said,
”Think not that I am a child,
For already I know much
Of that which you hold.
Aye, much.”

He smiled.
Then he opened the book
And held it before me. --
Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind.

1. Once a man clambering to the housetops
2. In the night
3. To the maiden
4. Behold, from the land of the farther suns
5. I explain the silvered passing of a ship at night
