Women need revenge?

Women need revenge, because of their lack of ability to have revenge! What form this revenge takes is not important! They just need revenge because of something or another! Don't ask for what! Are you a biggot!? Come on! I am asking you a question, that is to say that I wish to smash your mind into my own! Just let women get revenge, against something or another! So yeah!
 

Mikhail Lermonov “The Sail”

 

3. Mikhail Lermonov “The Sail” 

Mikhail Lermontov by Peter Zabolotsky

School students, as a rule, love Lermontov for his romanticism, and for the fact that many poems are quite... short!

Amid the blue haze of the ocean
A sail is passing, white and frail.
What do you seek in a far country?
What have you left at home, lone sail?

The billows play, the breezes whistle,
And rhythmically creaks the mast.
Alas, you seek no happy future,
Nor do you flee a happy past.

Below the mirrored azure brightens,
Above the golden rays increase —
But you, wild rover, pray for tempests
As if in tempests there was peace!

Translated by Vladimir Nabokov
