Корней Чуковский Никогда я не знал перевод на англ
that it's so much fun to be old.
Every day all my thoughts
get brighter and brighter.
Here, near sweet Pushkin,
on Tverskoy Boulevard, in autumn gold,
With farewell greed,
for long, I 'm looking at kids, enlightened.
And I am being old and tired
so much amused
By kids' eternal running and fuss, and I'm soothed.
What should we live
On this planet then, right in the core
Of the cycle
of bloody centuries for?
What for, if it weren't for them, for these
Big-eyed, noisy kids in happiness…
