and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently
at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West,
Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face,
though they come from the ends of the earth!
Rudyard Kipling
И их неизменна суть,
Пока не призвал облака и песок
Всевышний на Страшный Суд.
Но нет Востока, и Запада нет
И призрак их невесом,
Если двое серьезных мужчин
Выходят к лицу лицом.
