| Comment | “We wanted to transfer this poem to the translated ones as it was mentioned in the manuscript, though we dared not; the title itself says that it is “anacreontic” (written like Anacreon) and is not translated (Alexandre Chavchavadze, the Works, edited by I. Grisahashvili, with preface, remarks and glossary, Tbilisi, 1940, pg. 316) |
