Antiquity, lunch, "Luchina".
On a passing which, however, is shrill and fresh as
All superficial and the first, in Greece is or eternity, or
kich - and anything in the middle. Kich, however, concept
The contextual: hotels with names "Kuros" or "Adonis" in
Athenes platitude, and in Moscow would become the most refined halt
Comedians. But also in the Greece to define, that the great
The eternity, and that poor kich where it is more difficult, than seems.
The ingenuous answer - the pure rests of Parthenon on virgin
Sky flush, certainly, eternity, and benches with moulds,
Clear business, kich - it is too ingenuous. At least therefore,
That on the Acropolis, more, than on Manezhnoj the areas, goes
Permanent novostroj, and caryatids Erehtejona are replaced
Copies, that is in effect the same moulds, only on rouble
More expensively, and the sacred olive granted by Athena is planted, apparently,
About hundred years ago. But it has no value: all in
The end of the ends only a sign. Such kontseptualistskaja wisdom will be
The same nonsense unless hardly more educated. From signs
The head around does not go also tears from eyes do not flow. Pure
The rests of Parthenon, original or novodelnye, all the same most
Pure, because a sky here the ruddiest and
Virgin, and this main thing. But having left alone not defined
The main thing, we will be engaged in that is easier, - absent
The middle.
Evident absence appeals to the description. Fiction easily
It is learnt. The Greek fiction are tourists with the
Means of transportation. The convenient bus from Athenes in Delfy was
It is subscribed by natives of Massachusetts: me have placed,
Having defined in the neigbour on tripu the two-metre farmer with the person
Flat and red, as at the driver-trucker. Elderly
Already it is a lot of years, but still vigorous, for a trip to
To Apollo has put on a jacket of colour of children's unexpectedness and it is pure
Has shaved a wrinkled nape. Three hours there and three hours back
It did not run low: all appealed to its surprise, and all was nice.
And I first too: "you very lovely. It so is unexpected. I
Very much I like animals. I have a cat. It such darling. And you
Like cats? "Our short-legged gidsha - a head-breast through
The cascade in three chins, with karikaturno long clip-on earrings, as
Columns on a facade, - waved, repeating everyone
The elementary word several times, as if not it, and it
Listeners were weak in English: "We will visit Delfy with mountain,
Mountain Parnassus (it is so much metres), mountain Helicon (it is so much
Metres), then we descend in a museum, and there will be a lunch, a lunch. After
Marvellous lunch us expects, the stop in village expects us
Arahova. It is a surprise. It to you from me a gift. In Arahova three
Millenia live weavers. They weave specially for you,
To you the Greek things. They can be bought "." Nice ", -
The farmer, loudly approving a surprise and a gift has exclaimed.
"Apollo has won Pifona and has chosen, has chosen Delfy. There it
Has based a temple, a temple ", - be touched gidsha."Nice", - has approved
Heard the farmer. Behind a window mountains rose. "About, - has told
My neigbour. - at you is such in Russia? "-" yes, in Crimea ",
-- I have mechanically responded, not assuming for it
Geopolitical ushlosti. "But after all Crimea in Ukraine", -
The old woman was surprised and has looked at me with suspicion
Unexpectedly intelligent eyes. "Nice" has instantly disappeared.
And it not such dark as has got used to seem, I have thought.
Two teenagers, the grandson of the farmer and its companion, sat through
Pass to identical vests from Leonardo di Caprios bought,
Probably, just on tourist disorders between the infinite
kurosov and Adonises: Dee Kaprio - unique Hollywood
The god today admitted in an assembly of Olympians. Two its fans
Now in the bus giggled, as I thought, over gidshej, over
Arahnami from Arahova, weaving thirty centuries the rags, but,
As it was found out, over pictures: the usual tourist
The cards which are on sale on the same disorders. It was
krasnofigurnaja Greek vazopis, but not simple, but gold.
Any modern umelets undertook to represent all the same,
But at the moment of a coition and with vzdyblennymi phalli - a pornography,
Stylised under tradition. The goods extraordinary marketable have turned out:
Tourists easily give money, feeling insured
Saving ambiguity - so up to the end and not clearly, than
They enjoy, - an effective example kicha,
Closed with a museum. It is not liked luzhkovsky the aquarellist
S.N.Andrijaka with the "the Bouquet of wild flowers". The Same
Diligent, scrupulous Paleh, but it is more amusing, more sharply -
The modern Greek pornographer also is present Arahna from
Arahova: inspiration it is not strong more than at Andrijaki, but
History but in three millenia. The farmer who has found the grandson for
By indecent employment and lifted scandal, it was deceived
Frankly. Having heard from someone, that antiquity not
Avoided pohabstva, it has fallen upon the Ancient Greece, and who
Will tell, that it was not right.
Time which has been taken away on Delfy, has appeared three times less most
Travel. Upwards on mountain - the Athenian treasury, the Rock
pifii, the Temple, Theatre, Stadium. It seems, somewhere there is a stone
Omfal, considered as the world centre, but it is necessary downwards - Stadium,
Theatre, Temple, Rock pifii, and quickly in a museum, and through all halls to
"Voznichemu" and then there will be an hour for a lunch, the world centre
It is found at restaurant. And then desired Arahova, a wreath
In total tripa, the bus is submitted directly to shop: a head-breast,
kolyhajas clip-on earrings-columns, here again conducts the excursion.
It is an instant of its celebration: the culmination coincides with an outcome. But also
The assortment too coincides with all on light. Arahny from
Arahova, it appears, thirty hundreds years weave that on end
Is on sale in Athenes, and in other cities of the world, with Chinese,
The Thai and Indian shortcuts. In the homeland, however, it
Costs time in ones and a half more expensively: in arahovskie the prices by itself
Commission fee gidshi enter.
On a return way my companion has calmed down. The trip has gone right,
Delfy to it have liked, "so it is beautiful, so it is beautiful", the lunch left
On glory, and it has reconciled to antiquity: in village Arahova
Has bought a rug for a cat. The bus has plunged again into the road
The gloom, on roadsides again laid dirty snow, in Delfah it not
Was. "Suddenly will brighten up ognetsvetno their pure snow: on
It there passes imperceptibly heavenly angels a foot "it is exact about
Delfy it is told, where weather varies visually and as if always
The sun shines. There, being above Theatre (it is necessary to run more likely on
Stadium) among the American old women, the inescapable Italian
Schoolboys and goodness knows where from undertaken Russian, it is possible to understand
"Deep and blue" and, excuse My God, "space" and that the such
"Echo". Pushkin never leaving Russia, knew
(Whence?) what exactly Rhyme here has arisen: "Remembering the first
svidanja to charm it stradanja Mnemozina pritekla. And the girlfriend
To Apollo in a silent grove of Helicon a fruit of delights has given birth ". Gidsha,
Brought in Delfy Russian tourists, too vaguely something knew
Also has shown focus. It was a trick, learnt and difficult,
Because cameras around clicked: "Katyas, move
To the left, the kind does not climb ". But gidsha has bravely stepped into the deserted
Theatre and, bypassing it, - rise, children, rise in a circle -
Began to slap hands together. The rumble has risen to heavens, but has sunk in
Shouts. Gidsha has perplexed kept silent and has suddenly started singing:
That not the wind a branch drives,
Not dubravushka rustles,
That my heart groans,
As aspens the sheet shivers.
At Visconti in "Death in Venice" are a scene, before disgust
On it similar. When Ashenbah last time goes to the beach,
Infinite Adazhietto from Mahler's Fifth symphony, accompanying
The film, suddenly stops and is replaced by demotic "Lullaby"
Musorgsky, executed a-chapel. Cholera Venice has become empty,
Beach as though has put out, there was one sea and one Russian
Family, and on all coast as for the whole world, sounds othodnaja
To the dying Europe. And as in Delfah, standing on deserted Theatre
And a silent voice blocking unceasing noise, gidsha-plagiatorsha
Deduced, even more demotic and abstruse:
The sorrow has exhausted me,
Malicious snake.
And, repeatedly strengthened by an echo, rushed over Theatre, to
To stadium and upwards to Parnassus:
Burn down, burn mine luchina,
I will burn down with you and I.
That she thought and whether thought in general, or habitually showed
Focus, either has felt suddenly, or has understood - God knows. Also that here
kich, and what eternity? Also that thought and understood the old woman from the smoothfaced
Neck, artful gidsha a head-breast and two boys with the obscene
Cards and Leonardo di Caprio on a breast - one kuros, another
The adonis? That they which have appeared this day and hour in felt
Delfah before the mountain Parnassus shining, indifferent - serially
All children making the feat useless, it
Equally welcomes all-consuming and mirotvornoj a chasm.
