N. TENIGINA: "I Said, 'Worlds And Kingdoms...'"

"I Said, 'Worlds And Kingdoms...'"

(From Omar Khayyam)
I said, “Worlds and kingdoms – creations yours, great;
The boundless cosmos - your own estate!”
You answered, “One can’t fathom us in a whole -                                                                 
Your ‘knowledge’ of us made you fully misled!”



Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
