The malady can be healed by madness… <br />He plays a fool, but he is a sage. <br />The time of such wisdom has come, <br />He preaches the wisdom of age. <br /> <br />The nail is hammered into the wall, <br />The woman hangs on it flowers – <br />A bunch of violets of the dale. <br />Her eyes resemble your eyes… <br />The violets light up the nail. <br /> <br />Just a wise man can reject wisdom. <br />He carries out his task, he’s preaching. <br />All hail to the fool in Christ, <br />All hail to his blessed thinking! <br /> <br />24.O8.2OO6. <br /> <br />Translated from Georgian<br /><br />Janri Gogeshvili<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-hail-to-that-fool-in-christ/
