Pust' govorjat: po`ezija-mechta, Gorjachki serdca bred nichtozhnyj, Chto mir jejo jest' mir pustoj i lozhnyj, I blednyj vymysl - krasota; Pust' net dlja [morekhodcev]1 dal'nykh Siren opasnykh, net driad V lesakh gustykh, v ruch'jakh kristal'nykh Zolotovlasykh net najad; Pust' Zevs iz dlani ne nizvodit Razjashchej molnii potok, I na noch' Gelios ne skhodit K Fetide v purpurnyj chertog: Pust' tak! No v polden' list'ev shepot Tak polon tajny, shum ruch'ja Tak sladkozvuchen, morja ropot Glubokomyslen, solnce dnja S takoj ljuboviju prijemlet Puchina morja, lunnyj lik Tak sokroven, chto serdce vnemlet Vo vsem tainstvennyj jazyk; I ty nevol'no sim javlen'jam Darujesh' zhizni krasoty, I `etim milym zabluzhden'jam I verish' i ne verish' ty!
