Муза
Language: Russian (Русский)
Когда я ночью жду её прихода, Жизнь, кажется, висит на волоске. Что почести, что юность, что свобода Пред милой гостьей с дудочкой в руке. И вот вошла. Откинув покрывало, Внимательно взглянула на меня. Ей говорю: "Ты ль Данту диктовала Страницы Ада?" Отвечает: " Я!".
