Без руля и без ветрил

"...Голодные армии безработных бесплодно пересекают пространства в поисках куска хлеба..."

"К социалистическому изобилию"; в "Книге о вкусной и здоровой пище", 1939

Тут недавно публиковали церковнославянский падонкаффский язык

А я вот чего нашёл:

"Слово их яко гангрена жир обрящет". (2 Тим. 2:17). Выражает критическое отношение к высказываниям идейного противника.

Не вполне понятно, что имеется в виду, но зато вполне по-албански.

The Beggar-Girl

There's a poor beggar going by,
I see her looking in;
She's just about as big as I,
Only so very thin.

She has no shoes upon her feet,
She is so very poor;
And hardly anything to eat:
I pity her I'm sure.

But I have got nice clothes, you know,
And meat, and bread, and fire;
And dear mamma, that loves me so,
And all that I desire.

If I were forced to stroll so far,
Oh dear, what should I do?
I wish she had a kind mamma,
Just such a one as you.

Here, little girl, come back again,
And hold that ragged hat,
And I will put a penny in:
There, buy some bread with that.

Ещё из той же книжицы:

PERSEVERE.

Go on, go on, go on, go on,
Go on, go on, go on,
Go on, go on, go on, go on,
Go on, go on, GO ON !

Ещё парочку. Про язычников.

THE HEATHEN MOTHER.



See that heathen mother stand
Where the sacred current flows;
With her own maternal hand
Mid the waves her babe she throws.

Hark! I hear the piteous scream;
Frightful monsters seize their prey,
Or the dark and bloody stream
Bears the struggling child away.

Fainter now, and fainter still,
Breaks the cry upon the ear;
But the mother's heart is steel,
She unmoved that cry can hear.

Send, O send the Bible there,
Let its precepts reach the heart;
She may then her children spare -
Act the mother's tender part.
