стихи из "Кошачьего глаза"...  Eye of Cat.  Как реквием звучат они те-
перь для меня...

      High in the Mountains of fire
      in the lost place of the Old Ones,
      fire falling to the right of me,
      to the left of me,
      before, behind, above, below,
      I met my self's _chindi_,
      _chindi_'s self.
      Shall I name me a name now,
      to have eaten him?

      I walk the rainbow trail.
      In a time of ice and fire
      in the lost place of the Old Ones
      I met my self's _chindi_,
      became my _chindi_'s self.
      I have traveled through the worlds.
      I am a hunter in all places.
      My heart was divided into four parts
      and eaten by the winds.
      I have recovered them.

      I sit at the center of the entire world
      sending forth my song.
      I am everywhere at home,
      and all things have been given back to me.
      I have followed the trail of my life
      and met myself at its end.
      There is beauty all around me.

      Nayenezgani came for me
      into the Darkness House,
      putting aside with his staff
      the twisted things, the things reversed.
      The Dark Hunter remembers me,
      Coyote remembers me,
      the Sky People remember me,
      this land remembers me,
      I have remember myself
      coming up into the world.
      I sit on the great sand-pattern
      of Dinetah, here at its center.
      Its power remembers me.

      Coyote call across the darkness bar ...
      I have eaten myself and grown strong.
      There is beauty all around me.
      Before me, behind me, to the right
