Vsjakoe volshebstvo bleknet, utrachivajut mosch magicheskie sozdanija, ukhodjat na pokoj bozhestva. No tolko ne v zapovednoj Irlandii, gde dukh pragmatichnogo veka veet vpolsily, a divnye i ponyne chuvstvujut sebja volgotno, odarjajut dobrykh i dosazhdajut zlovrednym. Damy i kavalery v paradnykh narjadakh, v krasnykh shapkakh i zelenykh plaschakh, edva-edva razlichimye sredi trav i tsvetov, vyezzhajut kavalkadami i otpljasyvajut na nochnykh pogostakh, uchat zarvavshikhsja juntsov umu razumu, net-net da umyknut chelovecheskogo detenysha, ostaviv v kolybeli zakoldovannoe poleno. Zaskuchavshie merrou manjat morekhodov na dno okeana, soblaznjaja butylochkoj brendi. Vorchlivye leprekony, iskusnye bashmachniki, ne zabyvajut otvlekatsja na prokazy - redko nevinnye. Vcherashnie pokojniki prizrakami javljajutsja svoim pogubiteljam, a veschie banshi uzhe oplakivajut pokojnikov zavtrashnikh. Neudivitelno, chto, sobiraja i sistematiziruja skazki i legendy rodnoj strany, velichajshij poet Irlandii Uiljam Batler Jejts (1865-1939) uverilsja: "esli kovyrnut poglubzhe, vsjak i kazhdyj jasnovidets. Kelt zhe jasnovidets i bez togo".2-oe izdaniePerevodchik: Martynova Shashi

"The Wild Swans at Coole" is a lyric poem by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats (1865-1939). Written between 1916 and early 1917, the poem was first published in the June 1917 issue of the Little Review, and became the title poem in the Yeats's 1917 and 1919 collections The Wild Swans at Coole. It was written during a period when Yeats was staying with his friend Lady Gregory at her home at Coole Park, and the assembled collection was dedicated to her son, Major Robert Gregory (1881-1918), a British airman killed during a friendly fire incident in the First World War. Literary scholar Daniel Tobin writes that Yeats was melancholy and unhappy, reflecting on his advancing age.
