Deeblog

One of the greatest short poems ever written ("O, I so madly want to live "), the work of this Russian man of letters.  You can read the original here.

O, I so madly want to live!     
The realest to eternalize, 
The faceless to personify,   
The never-been sweet breath to give!

May heavy sleep destroy this life,   
And may I drown within these dreams;   
Perhaps some youth with joy so rife       
Will come to speak thus of my streams:

Forgive his sad and sullen might,
This cannot be his secret force;
He is the child of Good and Light,
He is our solemn freedom's course.
