1 " stars, Where did such anguish come from?” And the stars tell him, The stars tell him everything. "
― Alexandr Blok , The Stranger: Selected Poetry
2 " I once stirred thunder in the skies, And now, unlike the days of yore - Just tears in a drunken poet’s eyes And laughter - from some whore. "
3 " You see, I’m – a writer,A man, who calls everything by its name,And steals the aroma from a living flower. "
4 " Inside my soul, the spring of loveWill not replace the stormy weather. "
5 " ...the nearing resurrectionOf dreary, melancholy days… "
6 " Because of my chains and because of your spell,And the family curse that still haunts us as well. "
7 " Without remorse, you calmly thrust your knifeInto each heart that shared its love with you. "
