Yesenin Translations Quotes & Sayings

There was a man so wise,
He jumped into
A sandy place
And burnt out both his eyes!
And when he knew his eyes were gone,
He offered no complaint.
He summoned up a vision
And made himself a saint.

And if we receive a gift beyond our imagining, we often send it back. — Julia Cameron
