| Notes | Short lyric poem in which Osip Mandelstam, one of the most significant Russian poets of the 20th century, speaks in the first person. The speaker insists on the efficacy of poetry and alludes to the banning of his work by the Stalinist régime as well as his own punishment for speaking truth to power.(Mandelstam did not find favour under the Stalinist régime and in 1937 disappeared into Soviet labour camps, with the government reporting his death in 1938.) |
