English Poetry. Stephen Crane. Tradition, thou art for suckling children. Стивен Крейн.

Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

Tradition, thou art for suckling children,
Thou art the enlivening milk for babes;
But no meat for men is in thee.
Then --
But, alas, we all are babes.

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. When the prophet, a complacent fat man
3. The ocean said to me once
4. Tell brave deeds of war
