Gamajun, The PropheQc Bird On waters, spread without end, Dressed with the sunset so purple, It sings and prophesies for land, Unable to liT the smashed wings' couple... The charge of Tartars' hordes it claims, And bloody set of execuQons, Earthquake, and hunger and the flames, The death of jusQce, crime’s intrusion... And caught with fear, cold and smooth, The fair face flames as one of lovers’, But sound with propheQc truth The lips that the bloody foam covers!... PainQng by Victor Vasnetsov
Aleksandr Blok (1899)
Sergei Esenin О верю, верю, счастье есть! Еще и солнце не погасло. Заря молитвенником красным Пророчит благостную весть. О верю, верю, счастье есть. Звени, звени, златая Русь, Волнуйся, неуемный ветер! Блажен, кто радостью отметил Твою пастушескую грусть. Звени, звени, златая Русь. Люблю я ропот буйных вод И на волне звезды сиянье. Благословенное страданье, Благословляющий народ. Люблю я ропот буйных вод.
1917 I do believe in happiness! The sun has not yet faded. Rays Of sunrise like a book of prayers Predict the happy news. Oh yes! I do believe in happiness! Ring , golden Russia, carry on, Oh blow you wind, so unabated! Blessed is the one who celebrated Your shepherd"s sadness, hope forlorn. Ring, golden Russia, carry on! I love the wild impetuous streams, The shine of stars upon the water. The blessed dejecQon, crying quarter, The blessing people and extremes Of roaring wild impetuous streams. 1917 h�ps://youtu.be/o3atFFtGPtk
