Горящие здания

by Konstantin Balmont

Eta kniga pochti tselikom napisana pod vlast'yu odnogo nastroeniya, na dolgie nedeli prevrativshego moyu zhizn' v skazku. YA byl zahvachen strastnoj volnoj, kotoraya uvlekla menya i derzhala v plenu, brosala vverh; brosala vniz, i ya ne mog vyjti iz nee, poka sam ne ovladel eyu, ponyav ee suschnost'. YA byl v zamknutoj bashne, i videl skvoz' temnoe okno dalekoe nochnoe zarevo, i hotel vyjti iz bashni, potomu chto v cheloveke est' neuderzhimaya potrebnost' bezhat' k mestu pozhara. No ya ne mog vyjti na volyu, poka ne ponyal samogo sebya.
