π Today I want to tell a story about poetry. Some of you asked me recently and I remembered a story about it. I love to read Sergei Yesenin, Brodsky and Mayakovsky. In general, I love poetry, sometimes I learn something by heart. My favorite poem is called Β«The Black ManΒ», written by Sergei Yesenin
I have a small collection of Yesenin's books. And I remembered the story of how she got to me.
π΅π½ One day my friend's mother met an old woman in line at the post office. They got to talking and she said that her son loves books. The old woman said that she had a large library and if her son wanted to come and take what he liked and gave her address. My friend called me (because I had a car at that time) and asked me to take him for books. He knew that I liked Yesenin. This woman had a whole collection of his poems. My friend, without asking me, took these books and gave them to me. I was very happy because I love old books. They were really very old.
Later, When I was reading one of them, suddenly a newspaper clipping fell out of the book. I unfolded it to see and you know what I saw? It was a newspaper clipping from about 1918. There it talked about Yesenin's repression. He refused to write poetry for the king and was repressed. Then I found a few more newspaper clippings. I could not believe my eyes that I was holding a 1918 newspaper in my hands. Can you imagine?
I still have these books with these clippings. I keep them. At the auction I also bought a bronze bust of Yesenin :) Now my bookshelf looks very beautiful π
