Травме Бекхэма посвятили поэму
Британская поэтесса Кэрол-Энн Даффи посвятила свою новую поэму "Ахиллес"
травме полузащитника сборной Англии и итальянского "Милана" Дэвида Бекхэма.
Британка сравнила спортсмена со знаменитым героем античных мифов.
Achilles
Myth's river – where his mother
dipped him, fished him, a
slippery golden boy flowed on,
his name on its lips.
Without him, it was prophesied,
they would not take Troy.
Women hid him, concealed him
in girls' sarongs; days of
sweetmeats, spices, silver songs ...
But when Odysseus came, with an
athlete's build, a sword and a shield,
he followed him to the battlefield,
the crowd's roar,
And it was sport, not war,
his charmed foot on the ball ...
But then his heel, his heel, his heel ...
