Beneath a sable veil and shadows deep
Of inaccessible and dimming light,
In silence ebon clouds more black than night,
The world’s great King his secrets hid doth keep:
Through those thick mists, where any mortal wight
Aspire, with halting pace and eyes that weep,
To prove, and in his mysteries to creep,
With thunders He and lightnings blasts their sight.
O Sun invisible, that dost abide
Within thy bright abysms, most fair, most dark,
Where with thy proper rays Thou dost Thee hide,
O ever-shining, never full-seen mark!
To guide me in life’s night thy light now shew,
The more I search, of Thee the less I know.

It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
