Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev. (№ 327483)

A lot of them, strong, evil and fun
Killing elephants and people
Dying of thirst in the desert,
Freezes on the edge of eternal ice,
True to our planet
Strong, cheerful and angry,
Carry my books in a saddlebag,
Read them in a palm grove
Forget on a sinking ship.
