G. PLISETSKY: "If In Rage..."

"If In Rage..."

(From Omar Khayyam)

If in rage of a pray you do not sometimes sink,
But will give your last piece to the hungry poor thing,
If you will not betray even one of you friends –
You’ll obtain Paradise … If you’ll bye me a drink!


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
