A pupil once came to Shakespeare
and said him gladly something like:
"I learned the miracle today,
it was, oh teacher, the good sign.
And I have said - I am Shakespeare,
in glory rays, which shine around.
For me the world's wealth are prepared,
I never will be under ground."
"Alas, it's puny dreams, I view."
Responded with the sadness he.
"When I was innocent, like you,
I dreamed be God, became Shakespeare.
Aspiring to be bright and free
by choosing the correct landmark
and dreaming - I will be Shakespeare,
think, what you will become in fact!"
