To the “origin of species
Boris Sveshnikov 1951 (Gorky)
A man’s progenitor looks like a monkey:
This claim is not the science hanky-panky,
And when appearance is taken as the basis
One can affirm the right of Darwin’s thesis!..
But we are all at sea when seeing Woman
Who is indeed the better kind of human!
Her kin with primates is apparent junk,
To be the most flimsy Darwin’s flank!
Perfection of the charming forms and lines
Affords the bliss to judge without wines...
How can “Survival of the Fittest” lead
To such a color of the eyes and lips?
If you could handle all with “Monkey” title
You’d never find alike delightful vital...
To rede it one cannot use Darwinism,
As well the former weapon atheism!..
We look up to the scientific manner,
But there is, by long odds, the Arcanum:
As a result of women’s “daily duty”
It’s seen the SKY-BORN essence of the BEAUTY:))!
