Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

When the prophet, a complacent fat man,
Arrived at the mountain-top,
He cried: ”Woe to my knowledge!
I intended to see good white lands
And bad black lands,
But the scene is grey.”

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. The ocean said to me once
3. Tell brave deeds of war
4. You tell me this is God?
5. Once I saw mountains angry
