Back to: [A Tree And A Bird][Gueorgui Konstantinov][SLOVOTO]

The sky is clear

With millions of stars,

Like e lesson in astronomy.

Like an exposition of eternity...

Meanwhile, here, on the rocky hill,

The late flowers of summer

Stay awake:

Milfoil,

St. John's wort,

A lonely sunflower...

And from one and the same flower

The spider sucks venom,

While the bee sucks honey.

This is how everything on the hill lives:

The way one can,

Instantly, by instinct.

To feel eternity,

I peer into every passing instant.
