Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)


"Truth," said a traveller


”Truth,” said a traveller,
”Is a rock, a mighty fortress;
Often have I been to it,
Even to its highest tower,
From whence the world looks black.”

”Truth,” said a traveller,
”Is a breath, a wind,
A shadow, a phantom;
Long have I pursued it,
But never have I touched
The hem of its garment.”

And I believed the second traveller;
For truth was to me
A breath, a wind,
A shadow, a phantom,
And never had I touched
The hem of its garment.



Stephen Crane's other poems:
  1. Blustering God
  2. The trees in the garden rained flowers
  3. I walked in a desert
  4. Love walked alone
  5. Walking in the sky
