Эрнест Кристофер Доусон (Ernest Christopher Dowson)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Epigram


Because I am idolatrous and have besought,
With grievous supplication and consuming prayer,
The admirable image that my dreams have wrought
Out of her swan's neck and her dark, abundant hair:
The jealous gods, who brook no worship save their own,
Turned my live idol marble and her heart to stone.
