Angel i demon
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pod``emlyut spor za cheloveka Dva duxa moshhny'e: odin - E`demskoj dveri vlastelin I vechny'j strazh eyo ot veka; Drugoj -- vo vsem velich`i zla, Vlady'ka sumrachnogo mira: Nad ognennoj ego porfiroj Goryat dva ognenny'x kry'la. No torzhestvo komu zh ustupit V py'li rozhdenny'j chelovek? Venecz li vechny'x pal`m on kupit Il` chashu vremennuyu neg? Gospoden` angel tix i yasen: Ego zhivit smiren`ya luch; No gordy'j demon tak prekrasen, Tak luchezaren i moguch!
