"Elizabeth Haydon - Rhapsody 4 - Requiem for the Sun" - читать интересную книгу автора (Haydon Elizabeth)

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world forever, it seems.

With -wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world's great cities,

And out of a fabulous story

We fashion an empire's glory:

One man with a dream, at pleasure,

Shall go forth and conquer a crown;

And three with a new song's measure

Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying

In the buried past of the earth,

Built Nineveh with our sighing,

And Babel itself with our mirth;

And o'erthrew them with prophesying

To the old of the new -world's тАвworth;

For each age is a dream that is dying,

Or one that is coming to birth.

тАФArthur O'Shaughnessy



Seven Gifts of the Creator,

Seven colors of light

Seven seas in the -wide world,
