Luminary 03:10
“Well, sit down then, luminary!” The devil had prompted my insolence to shout at him, confused— I sat on the edge of a bench; I was afraid of worse! But, from the sun, a strange radiance streamed, and forgetting all formalities, I sat chatting with the luminary more freely. Of this and that I talked, and of how I was swallowed up by Rosta, but the sun, he says: All right, don’t worry, look at things more simply! And do you think I find it easy to shine? Just try it, if you will!— You move along, since move you must; you move—and shine your eyes out!” We gossiped thus till dark— Till former night, I mean. For what darkness was there here? We warmed up to each other and very soon, openly displaying friendship, I slapped him on the back. The sun responded! “You and I, my comrade, are quite a pair! Let’s go, my poet, let’s dawn and sing in a gray tattered world. I shall pour forth my sun, and you—your own, in verse.” A wall of shadows, a jail of nights fell under the double-barreled suns. A commotion of verse and light— shine all your worth! Drowsy and dull, one tired, wanting to stretch out for the night. Suddenly—I shone in all my might, and morning ran its round. Always to shine, to shine everywhere, to the very deeps of the last days, to shine— and to hell with everything else! That is my motto— and the sun’s! - Vladimir Mayakovsky
