Lermontov: Prophet

Ona 2022-12-14 02:35:49


Since the Eternal Judge has
given me prophetic insight, I have been able to discern the traces of evil and evil in
the eyes of men . So I started shouting out the true meaning of love and justice, but all my friends and family were throwing rocks at me like crazy. I couldn't help but feel disheartened and fled from the city like a beggar, living like a bird in the wilderness, relying on God's gift of food. All living beings, in obedience to the will of God, paid their respects to me there, and the stars in the sky listened to me and shone with joyful light. When I walked through the hustle and bustle of the city, I walked in a hurry, and the old man smiled complacently, admonishing the children beside him like this: Behold, this is your foreshadowing! He was never gregarious and too arrogant. This fool wants us to believe that God preaches through his mouth. Look closely, children, how haggard and unlucky he is! See how poor he is, how people despise him!
