Taras Shevchenko Quote

Day comes and goes, night comes and goes...
Sinking your head in hands clasped tight,
You wonder why there still comes no
Apostle of wisdom, truth and right.


Poem, 1850. Song Out of Darkness: Seleted Poems (Mitre Press, 1961), p. 111


Day comes and goes, night comes and goes... Sinking your head in hands clasped tight, You wonder why there still comes no Apostle of wisdom, truth...

Day comes and goes, night comes and goes... Sinking your head in hands clasped tight, You wonder why there still comes no Apostle of wisdom, truth...

Day comes and goes, night comes and goes... Sinking your head in hands clasped tight, You wonder why there still comes no Apostle of wisdom, truth...

Day comes and goes, night comes and goes... Sinking your head in hands clasped tight, You wonder why there still comes no Apostle of wisdom, truth...
