tengu_crowПоследние несколько недель Угрюмый Дудочник вспоминается мне настолько часто,что я не поленился посмотреть оригинал моей любимой цитаты из.
"So be it —" That was Lugard once more, but he sounded very tired. "And when Yamar lifted up his voice, they did not listen. And when he cried aloud, they put their hands to their ears, laughing. And when he showed them the cloud upon the mountains, they said it was afar and would come not nigh. And when a sword glinted in the hills and he pointed to it, they said it was but the dancing of a brook in the sun"
The Cry of Yamar! How long had it been since anyone had quoted that in my hearing? Why should anyone on Beltane? Yamar was a prophet of soldiers; his saga was one learned by recruits to point the difference between civilian and fighting man.
Увы, это звучит не так весело, как слова Уилла Смита, ну так у нас и не голливудская реальность :(
