hello guys i want to introduce you very beautiful poem it was written in 1893 by Georgian poet Vazha-Pshavela. i decided to choose this poem because country itself isn't very famous and maybe many of the people haven't heard about it...

Host and Guest

Veiled in the gloom of night

The sweet face of Kisteti

Appears, among hills around,

A rocky throne among cliffs.

The river moans in its dark ravine

Turbid, with grief at its heart.

The mountains too are bowed down,

Laving face and hands in the water;


I chose this poem because as you see poet has his own unfamiliar and wonderful way to describe landscape. also United nations created a peace day with the name of Vazha-pshavela, because he was talking about peace and humanity in his poems in XIX century. i don't know if the poem is translated correctly, i read it on : https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Georgian/HostandGuest.php

Sort:  

Vazha Pshavela (real name - Luka Razikashvili) was a Georgian Poet and Novelist who is considered as one of the greatest of Georgian writers and his works are included in the school educational programs one of which is the Guest and the Host.
The Story of the Roebuck was written by Vazha Pshavela in 1883. The plot of the novel is same as plot of the Disney Cartoon "Bambi" which was released 59 years later. Wikipedia says, that Bambi is based on the Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. The latter was published in 1923.

Judge by yourself

I have only heard of it because of news about war and invasions :( thank you for sharing something to show it is filled, just like everywhere, with real humans that are just like everyone all over the world. Not just numbers on Tv :/
