Byt' znamenitym nekrasivo,ne eto podymaet vvys'
Ne nado zavodit' arhiva,nad rukopisiami triastis'.
Tsel' tvorchestva-samootdacha,a ne shumiha,ne uspeh.
Pozorno,nichego ne znacha,byt' pritchey na ustah u vseh.
No nado zhit' bez samozvanstva,tak zhit',chtoby v konce koncov
Privlech' k sebe lubov' prostranstva,uslyshat' buduschego zov.
I nado ostavliat' probely,v sud'be,a ne sredi bumag.Mesta i glavy zhizni celoy otcherkivaya na poliah.
I okunat'sia v neizvestnost',i priatat' v ney svoi shagi.Kak priachetsia v tumane mestnost',kogda v ney ne vidat' ni zgi.
Drugie po zhivomu sledu proydut tvoy put',za piad'u piad'.No porazhenie ot pobedy ty sam ne dolzhen otlichat'.
I dolzhen ne edinoy dol'koy ne otstupat'sia ot litsa.No byt' zhivym,zhivym i tol'ko.Zhivym i tol'ko do konca.
