I DREAM'D IN A DREAM... I dreamed in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth, I dreamed that was the new city of Friends, Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love, it led the rest, It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words. WALT WHITMAN «ПРИСНИЛСЯ МНЕ ГОРОД...» Приснился мне город, который нельзя одолеть, хотя бы напали на него все страны вселенной, Мне мнилось, что это был город Друзей, какого еще никогда не бывало.

Чуковского Do you enjoy this piece of poetry?
