      From: ibshambat@gmail.com              I do not want to live my life, like all,       Living like squirrels in a hamster wheel,       Walking around in circles, being slaves,       Afraid of storm and of the ocean waves.              I want to live uplifted like an eagle;       I want to live conceited like a Creole;       Smashing, threatening barriers, sliding by       Between the two "forbidden"'s intertwined.              I want to live, a wise and brilliant man       Of all his peers a century ahead       And yet in other measures, to exist       A fifty years behind my time at least.              I want to live, as it behooves to live       To him who knows to conjure and conceive       New notes from ancient ones and from the past -       I want to live the way life lives, at last!              By Igor Severyanin       Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat       https://sites.google.com/site/ibshambat              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
