G. PLISETSKY: "One, the Keeping One's Mind..."

"One, the Keeping One's Mind..."

(From Omar Khayyam)
One, the keeping one’s mind, just is milking a bull,
Yields of all clever men will be equal to null.
‘Cause today any mind has the payment of garlic,
It is gainful today to be fully a fool.


Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, February, 2003
