With apologies to «Мат в три хода» by Александр Грин [Aleksander Grin].
Sometimes,
When we ask a question
Any question
Anything,
And
Sometimes,
When reasoning fails
And the unperceiving mind
Still contemplates logic
In spite of the dead end...
Sometimes,
When thinking of the thought itself,
Of its own logic and perception
In spite of the uselessness...
Sometimes,
When the thought penetrates
The unseen matter of existence, being, and creation...
Sometimes,
When it loses, only to win at the end...
Then,
Then,
And only then,
Appears,
the answer to the question
To any question
To anything
And then comes the end.
