Иногда находит - хочется почитать что-нибудь интересное, полезное :) Повспоминал, покопался в интернете и вот результат:

Кстати, пытаюсь следовать такому принципу, по крайней мере похожему...
Цитата:

 Только когда срублено последнее дерево, 
 Только когда отравлена последняя река, 
 Только когда поймана последняя рыба,  
 Только тогда оказывается, что деньги несъедобны...

                     Древнее пророчество индейцев кри  

"I curse their head and all the hairs of their head;
I curse their face, their brain (innermost thoughts), their mouth, their nose, 
their tongue, their teeth, their forehead, their shoulders, their 
breast, their heart, their stomach, their back, their womb, their 
arms, their leggs, their hands, their feet, and every part of their 
body, from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, before 
and behind, within and without."
"I curse them going and I curse them riding;
I curse them standing and I curse them sitting;
I curse them eating and I curse them drinking; 
I curse them rising, and I curse them lying;
I curse them at home, I curse them away from home;
I curse them within the house, I curse them outside of the house;
I curse their wives, their children, and their servants who participate in their deeds.

I (bring ill wishes upon) their crops, their cattle, their wool,
their sheep, their horses, their swine, their geese, their hens,
and all their livestock. 
I (bring ill wishes upon) their halls, their chambers, their kitchens, 
their stanchions, their barns, their cowsheds, their barnyards, 
their cabbage patches, their plows, their harrows,
and the goods and houses that are necessary for their sustenance and welfare."
"May all the malevolent wishes and curses ever known,
since the beginning of the world, to this hour, light on them.
May the malediction of God, that fell upon Lucifer and all his fellows,
that cast them from the high Heaven to the deep hell, light upon them."
"May the fire and the sword that stopped Adam from the gates of 
Paradise, stop them from the glory of Heaven, until they forebear, 
and make amends."
"May the evil that fell upon cursed Cain, when he slew his brother 
Abel, needlessly, fall on them for the needless slaughter that they 
commit daily."
"May the malediction that fell upon all the world, man and beast, 
and all that ever took life, when all were drowned by the flood of 
Noah, except Noah and his ark, fall upon them and drown them, man 
and beast, and make this realm free of them, for their wicked sins."
"May the thunder and lightning which rained down upon Sodom and 
Gomorra and all the lands surrounding them, and burned them for 
their vile sins, rain down upon them and burn them for their open 
sins. May the evil and confusion that fell on the Gigantis for their 
opression and pride in building the Tower of Babylon, confound them 
and all their works, for their open callous disregard and 
opression."
"May all the plagues that fell upon Pharoah and his people of Egypt, 
their lands, crops and cattle, fall upon them, their equipment, 
their places, their lands, their crops and livestock."
"May the waters of the Tweed and other waters which they use, drown 
them, as the Red Sea drowned King Pharoah and the people of Egypt, 
preserving God's people of Israel." 
"May the earth open, split and cleave, and swallow them straight to 
hell, as it swallowed cursed Dathan and Abiron, who disobeyed Moses 
and the command of God."
"May the wild fire that reduced Thore and his followers to 
two-hundred-fifty in number, and others from 14,000 to 7,000 at 
anys, usurping against Moses and Aaron, servants of God, suddenly 
burn and consume them daily, for opposing the commands of God and 
Holy Church."
"May the malediction that suddenly fell upon fair Absolom, riding 
through the wood against his father, King David, when the branches 
of a tree knocked him from his horse and hanged him by the hair, 
fall upon these untrue Scotsmen and hang them the same way, that all 
the world may see."
"May the malediction that fell upon Nebuchadnezzar's lieutenant, 
Olifernus, making war and savagery upon true christian men; the 
malediction that fell upon Judas, Pilate, Herod, and the Jews that 
crucified Our Lord; and all the plagues and troubles that fell on 
the city of Jerusalem therefore, and upon Simon Magus for his 
treachery, bloody Nero, Ditius Magcensius, Olibrius, Julianus 
Apostita and the rest of the cruel tyrants who slew and murdered 
Christ's holy servants, fall upon them for their cruel tyranny and 
murder of Christian people."
"And may all the vengeance that ever was taken since the world 
began, for open sins, and all the plagues and pestilence that ever 
fell on man or beast, fall on them for their openly evil ways, 
senseless slaughter and shedding of innocent blood."
"I sever and part them from the church of God, and deliver them 
immediately to the devil of hell, as the Apostle Paul delivered 
Corinth. I bar the entrance of all places they come to, for divine 
service and ministration of the sacraments of holy church, except 
the sacrament of infant baptism, only; and I forbid all churchmen to 
hear their confession or to absolve them of their sins, until they 
are first humbled / subjugated by this curse."
"I forbid all christian men or women to have any company with them, 
eating, drinking, speaking, praying, lying, going, standing, or in 
any other deed-doing, under the pain of deadly sin."
"I discharge all bonds, acts, contracts, oaths, made to them by any 
persons, out of loyalty, kindness, or personal duty, so long as they 
sustain this cursing, by which no man will be bound to them, and 
this will be binding on all men."
"I take from them, and cast down all the good deeds that ever they 
did, or shall do, until they rise from this cursing."
"I declare them excluded from all matins, masses, evening prayers, 
funerals or other prayers, on book or bead (rosary); of all 
pigrimages and alms deeds done, or to be done in holy church or be 
christian people, while this curse is in effect."
"And, finally, I condemn them perpetually to the deep pit of hell, 
there to remain with Lucifer and all his fellows, and their bodies 
to the gallows of Burrow moor, first to be hanged, then ripped and 
torn by dogs, swine, and other wild beasts, abominable to all the 
world. And their candle (light of their life) goes from your sight, 
as may their souls go from the face of God, and their good 
reputation from the world, until they forebear their open sins, 
aforesaid, and rise from this terrible cursing and make satisfaction 
and penance."

Несколько стихотворений Киплинга, которые очень понравились при прочтении. В принципе, всё еще продолжают нравиться.

  САМАЯ СТАРАЯ ПЕСНЯ Перевод М. Фромана

       Потому  что прежде Евы была Лилит.
                                 Предание

    "Этих глаз не любил ты и лжешь,
    Что любишь теперь и что снова
    Ты в разлете бровей узнаешь
    Все восторги и муки былого!

    Ты и голоса не любил,
    Что ж пугают тебя эти звуки?
    Разве ты до конца не убил
    Чар его в роковой разлуке?

    Не любил ты и этих волос,
    Хоть сердце твое забывало
    Стыд и долг и в бессилье рвалось
    Из-под черного их покрывала!"

    "Знаю все! Потому-то мое
    Сердце бьется так глухо и странно!"
    "Но зачем же притворство твое?"
    "Счастлив я - ноет старая рана".


  ДОРОЖНАЯ ПЕСНЯ БАНДАР-ЛОГОВ Перевод В. Лунина

         Длинной гирляндой порою ночной
         Мчимся мы между землей и луной.
         Ты не завидуешь нашим прыжкам,
         Скачущим лентам и лишним рукам?
         Ты не мечтал, чтоб твой хвост, как тугой
         Лук Купидона, был выгнут дугой?
            Злишься напрасно ты, Брат! Ерунда!
            С гибким хвостом и беда не беда!

         Мы поднимаем немыслимый шум.
         Головы наши распухли от дум!
         Тысячи дел перед нами встают -
         Мы их кончаем за пару минут.
         Ах, как мудры мы! Ах, как хороши!
         Все, что умеем, творим от души.
             Всеми забыты мы, Брат? Ерунда!
             С гибким хвостом и беда не беда!

         Если до нас донесутся слова
         Аиста, мыши, пчелы или льва,
         Шкур или перьев - мы их различим,
         Тут же подхватим и быстро кричим!
         Браво! Брависсимо! Ну-ка опять!
         Мы, словно люди, умеем болтать!
             Мы не притворщики, Брат. Ерунда!
             С гибким хвостом и беда не беда!
         Светит для нас обезьянья звезда!

Скорее рядами сомкнемся,
                        лавиной сквозь лес пронесемся,
Как гроздья бананов качаясь на ветках,
                        взлетая по гладким стволам.
Для всех мы отбросы, так что же!
                        Мы  корчим ужасные  рожи!
Напрасно смеетесь! Мы  скачем по пальмам
                       навстречу великим делам!

А это всегда стараюсь помнить:
