Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

A spirit sped
Through spaces of night;
And as he sped, he called,
”God! God!”
He went through valleys
Of black death-slime,
Ever calling,
”God! God!”
Their echoes
From crevice and cavern
Mocked him:
”God! God! God!”
Fleetly into the plains of space
He went, ever calling,
”God! God!”
Eventually, then, he screamed,
Mad in denial,
”Ah, there is no God!”
A swift hand,
A sword from the sky,
Smote him,
And he was dead.

1. Once a man clambering to the housetops
2. On the horizon the peaks assembled
3. You tell me this is God?
4. I explain the silvered passing of a ship at night
5. In the night
