«The Final Appeal to Mankind» by Nicolai Levashov
Come, tell me, what’s the bliss of knowledge,
The Soul’s greatness lies wherein?
Is it not in the premonition, that
All that matters is—as yet,—to be?..
Finality, Infinity — before me,
Careening, will blue–streak, as one
Eternity its secret will disclose,
Those fetters’ burden will be gone.
The Soul, open to Knowledge,
Beauty Supreme will consummate
My daring Dream, your final message
I will begin to understand...
In plain defiance of understanding
Beckons to us the fleeting Truth—
A flash, a glimpse—just for the taking?
The flash, the glimpse—a crafty ruse?...
My flimsy scull upon the Sea of Knowledge
I sent adrift, contesting elements,
The truths, revealed to me, were worth the passage–
wisdom supreme ignites the Universe...
En route I came across superior reason,
Initiated into mysteries arcane,
I proved my mettle on the trek, that wasn’t easy –
Now let me show my Quest for Truth was not in vain…
