Nike and Her Head
ОглавлениеOh, Νίκη! Time though did beheaded you; —
They dies, day new, to break one of your wings: —
«Who’s right? who won the Woe-War?"… Not Marce;
And none is to survive in slaves of his…
Who is to win upon th’Achiles’ anarchism?68
The Heaven’s laissez-fair star-gaze in grass…
But barbar is that not, who goes so far
To ask the Stix ’gainst Islands’ neutralism? —
Th’Eagean grasp? – Hell looking for, you are
A little plebe with giant sword, calling for Death!
Hell do perverse not the ’light of Lucifer,
Where free from cares a Victor drink Love’s breath.
Where little winged goddess’ skye head
Wedds thoughts of Poet and Atlet for strength.69

dacha by S. Posad)

In this verse, I’d like to remind you that of why Achiles, a bloodiest hero, is the only personage, amongst all of his friends the Athenians, who was honored to be placed on the Eagean Islands, after his death: if you remember, he’s a one, never looking for the War and the fighting, right from the start; a peacefulest athletic character a nymphan, unlikely to all others, he had no purport and no desire to war at all, surely nor like Menelai the revenger, neither like Odysseus the profit searcher; Achiles the Marmedonian King kept the policy of neutralism on his Islands, and this kind of blissfulness I’ve mentioned to be a part of me-versed vision of a noble Aegenean of his past and his future, both.

"…And he felt in love with the mind of Patrocles»; – Pindar is the first, who emphasized this sort of ideal truth, by looking into the aspects of healthy men’s friendship with the clean, unpervert eye, yet before Aristotle explained it so in his treatises.
