| …And the world was young. |
| And it was cruel and beautiful.
|
| And it was full of heroes and titans who were fighting and
|
| Cognizing the world.
|
| In that time people souls were nalve and child-like
|
| Happily. |
| People saw life in everything and the surrounding
|
| Nature meant for them something what not everybody living
|
| Now can understand. |
| And thay believe in Gods who were
|
| Different in names but same in essence. |
| Those Gods came
|
| To the Earth from the old ages, when all living was dark and
|
| Cruel and lifeless — light and reconciling. |
| In those ages
|
| Intellect did not exist and its place was occupied by instinct —
|
| A formidable weapon, leading to death… Monsters
|
| Possessed this weapon, whose horror was later called Hell,
|
| And there was no a single creature who had not spent their
|
| Life in struggle for everything.
|
| When the Gods descended on the Eartg and saw that
|
| Savage chaos they were puzzled and horrified by the
|
| Scenery. |
| And so they created the first people, who got three
|
| Things really majestic — intellect, wisdom and feelings. |
| And
|
| Every God had the telns of government of a soul, and the
|
| Gods of darkness gave evil genius to intellect, misanthropy
|
| To wisdom and hatred to feelings; |
| and the Gods of light gave
|
| Clearness of thought to intellect, kindness to wisdom and
|
| Love to feelings. |
| And people, having opened their eyes, saw
|
| The fear of life and prayed for remorse and salvation,
|
| Because man is weak, and God is omnipotent. |
| So the Gods
|
| Saved the people from the savage chaos and peace and light |
