Итоги 2020



мною замечен странный обычай: довольно много людей в конце декабря подбивают некую ведомость, "итоги года". смысл мне непонятен, но.

если бы нужно сообщить "итоги" этого, 2020 года, то вряд ли можно сделать лучше чем этим стихом:




Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
