All the world's ruled by the Dragon - Fiery, mad, wicked, perverse. Let me praise him with a humble, Daring and ironic curse:
You, destruction-bringer, ordered The damp swamps to show your power; You brought forth the trees and grasses Growing into leaves and flowers.
All things flying, all things crawling You made - though their time is brief. Those aware and those ambitious You doomed to the harshest life.
You moved and clouds started floating . . . You chased winds along the land, So your kisses, deadly scorching, Would not sear before you planned.
And your orders can't be cancelled; You have no mercy to bring. You rule and don't hear our begging. You don't love. You kill each thing.
Fyodor Sologub
