When there’s a feast and you’re not invited,
When there are keys and you are never granted,
Just keep in mind for every day that comes:
There’s no bad luck, but other roads to start with!

The majority of the works that you find here have been translated by the author (i.e. myself) into English in order to throw some light for non-Russian speakers on those queer verses I'm involved in. Though I did my best to remain within the metre of a verse, in most cases I had to give up the rhyme - for the sake of the idea.
