Дороти Паркер (Dorothy Parker) Текст оригинала на английском языке Verse Reporting Late Arrival at a Conclusion Consider a lady gone reckless in love, In novels and plays: You watch her proceed in a drapery of A roseate haze. Acclaimed as a riot, a wow, and a scream, She flies with her beau to les Alpes Maritimes, And moves in a mist of a mutual dream The rest of her days. In life, if you'll listen to one who has been Observant of such, A lady in love is more frequently in Decidedly Dutch. The thorn, so to say, is revealed by the rose. The best that she gets is a sock in the nose. These authors and playwrights, I'm forced to suppose, Don't get around much. |
