COLLECTION OF POEMS
BY

Aleksandr Blok
(Born 1880, Died 1921)

(Translations from Russian)

Alexandr Blok, the greatest of the Russian Symbolists, progressed from the ethereal purity of Verses about the Beautiful Lady (1904) to the powerful expressiveness of his mature manner, fully developed by 1909. The wild intoxication of a gipsy woman's love, the spiritual destiny of his native land, and the agonizing limitations of the poet's art, are some of the main themes of his greatest body of poetry, to be found in the third volume of his collected verse (1907-16). His last masterpiece is The Twelve, a long poem which expresses his short-lived enthusiasm for the Revolution.
