“Царь спускает курок.

НАЧАЛЬНИК СТРАЖИ: Вот это выстрел!
ЦАРЬ: Нет, осечка!.. А что, птица все еще на ветке сидит или, может, улетела?
ГЕНЕРАЛ: Сидит, ваше величество! Очумела со страху.”
― Samuil Marshak, Стихи

“Цените слух, цените зренье.
Любите зелень, синеву —
Всё, что дано вам во владенье
Двумя словами: я живу.

Любите жизнь, покуда живы.
Меж ней и смертью только миг.
А там не будет ни крапивы,
Ни звёзд, ни пепельниц, ни книг.

И солнце даже не заметит,
Что в глубине каких-то глаз
На этой маленькой планете
Навеки свет его погас.”
― Samuil Marshak, Стихи
