"Among the thin-legged, thin blood,

with difficulty turning the bull neck,

I loudly cry out to the well-fed feast of the corpulent health

of people from meat!

To cover the earth with a frenzied dance,

boring as a tin can,

let's catch spring butterflies

with a net of unnecessary nerves!" - Vladimir Mayakovsky

A strange joke of the fate. The cheerful artist, who always dreamed of being the center of attention, needed to completely withdraw from the world and lock himself in his sadness in order to create something that generations remembered him for.

"...And so it came, in all the glory of it's youth.

It seemed to me that I was capable of joy again. I opened all the windows and dressed as if for a holiday. Perhaps it will visit me, a heavenly guest, a stranger.

I saw how everything rushed to freedom, to the friendly sea of Smyrna and its shores. Strange premonitions crowded inside me. I left the house too.

Nature expressed her omnipotence everywhere, every face seemed more cordial; jokes were heard everywhere, and where only ceremoniously bowed, hands were now being shaken. The friendly, gentle Spring made everyone young and inspired them again. ..." - Friedrich Hölderlin

"My old friend Spring caught me by surprise in the middle of my darkness. Otherwise, I would have caught its approach long time ago, when the juices in the frozen branches began to flow and a gentle breeze touched my cheek. Otherwise, I would expect it to relieve all kinds of pain. But all my believes and hopes were gradually lost in my soul..." - Friedrich Hölderlin

In Ukraine they talk about total mobilisation..both for men and weman. Also to raise age for mobilisation up to 18 years old. But what do they will fight with? With cash? They will really send people to death? Not enough deaths?

Apropos,

European officials have rejected the idea of banning Russian gas imports in future sanctions packages. Normally, right?

"Just like a murderer jumps of nowhere in an ally, love jumped out in front of us and struck us both at once. As lightning strikes, as a Finnish knife strikes!" - Mikhail Bulgakov, Master and Margarita

"I splashed some colours from a tumbler

and smeared the drab world with emotion.

I charted on a dish with jelly

the jutting cheekbones of the ocean.

Upon of the scales of a tin salmon

I read the calls of lips yet mute.

And you,

could you have played a nocturne

with just a drainpipe for a flute?" - What about you? by Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1913
