I am thinking of this poem by Pushkin today, because it is one that reminds me of Shitty.
Что смолкнул веселия глас?
Раздайтесь, вакхальны припевы!
Да здравствуют нежные девы
И юные жены, любившие нас!
Полнее стакан наливайте!
На звонкое дно
В густое вино
Заветные кольца бросайте!
Подымем стаканы, содвинем их разом!
Да здравствуют музы, да здравствует разум!
Ты, солнце святое, гори!
Как эта лампада бледнеет
Пред ясным восходом зари,
Так ложная мудрость мерцает и тлеет
Пред солнцем бессмертным ума.
Да здравствует солнце, да скроется тьма!
I am not finding translation I like very much yet, but if I find something good I will show in English. It is called "Bacchic Song" if you are wanting to look for yourself. It reminds me of Shitty because it is poem written in very bad times with lots of hope for good times to come, and lots of drinking about it. I know our friend is well at home, but still I will miss him wandering into kitchen with no pants on to ask if we are down to motherfucking clown.
