Yuri Pautov

I wrote a small verse (in Russian -maybe someone knows Russian?)

Ах, живем, не считая дни
Будто знаем от старости средство
А на финише этой чудной беготни
Возвращаемся... снова в детство...

I'll try to translate:

Ah, we live not counting our days
As if we know some remedy for not getting old..
And then in the end of this strange running
We return.. again to the childhood...

"Generations"? ... "the circle of life"?

Nice poem Yuri!

The poem and the picture
Great shot...but I think the poem would work better if it were a boy and an old man...for the full circle...remembering his youth...or possibly and old woman with the girl.

Just a thought.

How about "Orlando" (as in the Virginia Woolf tale) -- beautiful image by the way.

Experience teaches contentment( or at least acceptance)

That look
He's got a look on his face that just hollers: Dirty old man, in his thoughts about the girl. Funny.

Maybe "Youth is wasted on the young"?
