Conan Doyle who believed in fairies,
and composed for us Sherlock Holmes
and three monks who returned revenging,
and amazed us in The Lost World,
Conan Doyle who believed in spirits
and whose books are still so alive,
as if spirits at pages breathing,
from the mistery of bright might!
.
**************************
Конан Дойл, что поверил феям,
И придумал Шерлок Холмса
трех монахов. что мстить умели,
И Затерянный мир веселый,
Конан Дойл, как он верил в духов
И чьи книги еще так живы,
будто духи в страницах дышат,
От мистерии яркой силы.
But the fact is this, the reader of Conan Doyle enjoys the spirit imprisoned inside the pages and words. The reader rather use the spirits as their domestic pet animals. Nice tribute. Thansk.

I would like to translate this poem
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous persons who NEVER lived. I too liked LOST WORLD. Is the story you referred to as THREE MONKS titled THE WHITE COMPANY, set in the Middle Ages? If so, I read that too and liked it. BTW That belief in fairies and seances and spirit visitations swept Europe and America because so many young men died in World War I. People used that magic to make contact with their dead. They were desperate, and the consolation of Heaven wasn't enough for them. Sad, but true.
