Forget about your strife,<br>He is the death of death and is the life of life! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And He gave me the eyes to see the shining light<br>And mercifully filled my heart with pure delight<br>In roaring winds I've heard His footsteps all the time<br>And in a sublime song I've felt His holy rhyme,<br>But beside all these things, I still have a request,<br>To let me find at last His sweet eternal rest!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">To curse the man who wants to soothe my awful pain<br>To bless the one who always oppresses me in vain,<br>To listen any mouth that shouts at me with strife,<br>To strengthen any arm that wants to take my life<br>And let that guy to be the best and walk ahead<br>Who comes to steal the stone on which I lay my head!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Rejected by the people, I'll roam through all my years<br>Until I feel my eyes devoid of any tears,<br>For every man will be my bitter foe from birth,<br>That's why I cannot judge or measure my own worth;<br>The pain and the ordeal have chilled my heart severely,<br>That I can curse my mother, whom I have loved so dearly – <br>But when my hate will fade and love will take its place<br>I might forget my pain and leave this life with grace.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And if I die an outlaw who wanted to be free,<br>Let them throw out my body to rot under a tree<br>And offer, God, a crown with many precious stones<br>To him who'll bring the dogs to eat my heart and bones.<br>And give eternal life to those who slap my face,<br>Who throw at me with stones and sink me in disgrace!</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And only then, my Father, I'll thank you on my knees,<br>Because You gave me power to go through life with ease<br>I shall not beg for mercy or bend my head and cry<br>To curses, spite and evil I want to turn Your eye,<br>To feel Your holy breath upon my mortal face,<br>To die and rest in peace and leave behind no trace!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Mihai+Eminescu">Mihai Eminescu</a>, translated by Octavian Cocoş<div class=q>
