Epigram On Pasternak's Poems
"Pasternak's Zhivago poems are profouondly beautiful,
but they exist on the foundation of Tyutchev's more
profound, and more universal, love poetry. Not even
the Bolshevik's revolution could alter the Christian poet
Tyutchev's achievement in the similtaneity of its delicate
structure and massive literary influence."
---Anonymous term paper on "Russian Love Poetry,"
submitted September 13---November 19, 1976
Councillor Tyutchev, you were really with me
that last week of my first term of college
despite my crude, provincial lack
of literate or anecdotal knowledge.
That term's classes' final test
ended more quickly than most of the rest:
I spend the free time reading Pasternak---
"Zhivago," whose poems emerged, historically,
out of the grandeur of your love poetry.
