"On Khakhmat's sacred altar gleamed

A candle's quiv'ring feeble light,

Its yellow rays embraced the trees,

Expiring there in sheer delight.

At times the light gleamed brighter still

And flung the shadows black aside,

Then, like a soul in agony

Of death, it flickered low and died.

Enough remained of sombre light

To see two figures on the plain;

One held a blood-stained sword, and on

The ground there lay a bullock slain.

'God's blessings on thee, Mindia,

Upon thy faith and sacrifice,

May He thy ardent prayers receive

And hearken to thy endless sighs.

Thou art the comfort of our lives,

The Pshav-Khevsuris' faith and pride.

Heaven and earth extol thy name

With hymns that echo far and wide.

I wonder much, my Mindia.

To see thee here both night and day.

What troubles thee, what hast thou done

Thus ceaselessly to weep and pray?

To God we owe immortal thanks,

His praise resounds beyond the skies;

May He forgive me, but thy ways

Exceed all bounds of sacrifice!'"

The girlies here would lose their mind over Vajha Pshavela's portrayal of nature as something alive and human-like yet much pure and wise

,,ჯერაც ატყვია ჩემს გულსა

შენგნით წყლულები ჭრელადა,

ოცგანაც კიდევ რომ დამჭრა,

ვერ გაგიხდები მტერადა!"

niko pirosmani -- "little girl with a balloon" (ca. 1900s)

"a hat's not a hat till it's tilted" … sammy cahn

“new wisdom pierced his wond’ring brain; he saw the world with different eyes, he saw it smile, he heard it speak, he knew the meaning of its sighs. all things that breathed or lived had tongue, held converse soft in language strange" … vazha pshavela (pirosmani's favorite poet)

"darkness at the break of noon shadows even the silver spoon the handmade blade, the child's balloon eclipses both the sun and moon to understand you know too soon there is no sense in trying" … bob dylan

"a balloon's not a balloon if it's quilted" … al janik

Well, I like the art style, it fits the story.
