La mia casa
La mia casa è sotto la volta celeste,
Dove risuonano i canti soltanto,
Dove ogni scintilla di vita risplende,
Ma per il poeta lo spazio è tanto.
Dal tetto egli arriva alle stelle,
Mikhail Lermontov

Of life in alienation, stiff.
All people prefer to share gladness,
And nobody - to share grief..." <Loneliness by Mikhail Lermontov>✨(I thought we could be friends" by TuesdayTamworth)🌌
