Gilbert Keith Chesterton (Гилберт Кит Честертон)


* * *


This is the sort of book we like
(For you and I are very small),
With pictures stuck in anyhow,
And hardly any words at all.
. . .
You will not understand a word
Of all the words, including mine;
Never you trouble; you can see,
And all directness is divine—
Stand up and keep your childishness:
Read all the pedants' screeds and strictures;
But don't believe in anything
That can't be told in coloured pictures. 



Gilbert Keith Chesterton's other poems:
  1. Blessed Are the Peacemakers
  2. The March of the Black Mountain
  3. Glencoe
  4. To M. E. W.
  5. The Crusader Returns from Captivity
