“Captivated by the rose, the nightingale
sings to her day and night,
but the rose hears the songs in silence.
And so another singer with a lyre
sings for a young maid;
and the sweet maid does not know
for whom he sings and why
his song is so sad.”
― Алексей Васильевич Кольцов , Стихотворения и песни

“If we lose our human nature, we lose much, but if we lose our bestial nature, we lose everything.”
