(1) Every idiot is bound to take life so seriously and so Tsarevna Euna saw the torment, the pretension in all who surrounded her and she could not smile
Many a fool in earnest faith came - many a handsome man who felt there was only one aim in life; many a clown in grave intent and purpose auditioned; many an imbecile from all extremities; many a thinker, many a philosopher many a Prophet who said Heaven is Open
But all earnestness is Dumb and Weighty like the **** of a hippo and so Tsarevna Euna saw the gravity in all who surrounded her and she could not smile
(2) And she heard one day in her lonely walk in her gray, dry-withered garden the mouse, the beetle and the catfish talk of the man who gave away his every coin of the only three coins he had in the world
And at last, the Tsarevna knew, there was one indeed who knew to treat the world light (as when a leaf falls, and no one is ******* ) and so she discarded her mournful looks and she dismissed her father and the royal court and she grew to be the Wisest Queen of All and so it is sung to this day, in all those domains: *The Princess who never smiled she had a sudden insight and she grew to be the Wisest Queen of All
Poem based on the Russian fairy tale and on the painting “The Princess Who Never Smiled” by Viktor Vasnetsov/ Tsarevna – daughter of the Tsar
