poets [Theme]

Don't get married, poets.

Poets always take the weather personally. They always shove their feelings into something that does not have feelings.

One big experiment.

Poets do not know how to give flowers, artists and musicians, apparently, too. It’s not good to reproach them for this, it’s not good. After all, they are capable of giving people a soul, and in this they are not like us at all!

Poets are out of fashion these days. Yes, and fashion, however, too - now it is not in honor.

Gray-haired bankers fled with their wives, talented businessmen fled, leaving trusted assistants in Moscow, who were instructed not to lose touch with the new world that was emerging in the Moscow kingdom, homeowners who left their homes for loyal secret clerks, industrialists, merchants, lawyers, public figures . Journalists fled, Moscow and St. Petersburg, corrupt, greedy, cowardly. Kokotki. Honest ladies from aristocratic families. Their tender daughters, Petersburg pale harlots with painted carmine lips. Secretaries of directors of departments ran, young passive pederasts. Princes and altynniks, poets and usurers, gendarmes and actresses of the imperial theaters fled. All this mass, seeping into the gap, kept its way ...

Did poets invent love or did love invent poets?

Only I aspire to other distances.

Usually poets, actors and townspeople meekly bend their backs when the powers that be honor them with beatings.

Poets used to be, now they are just idiots who have lost their heads from love.

The poet is free to sing everything. For when taboos appear, poetry disappears. Today poets sing state theories just as the nightingales sang in their predecessors and the roses smelled fragrant.

There are poets descending to others. There are poets who raise themselves up and thereby sharply limit their circle. After them, everything seems naive, vulgar, imperfect. So in a museum you suddenly come across a masterpiece, after which it is pointless to go further.

In the 17th century, Jansenist Barbier d'Ocourt, a man of great intelligence and education, argued that all poets are seducers of the people.

Poetry, for example Shakespeare, Sappho, the Bible, is like circles on the water from something alien. The poets themselves have always understood this perfectly and considered themselves only keepers. It is a great honor to participate in something like this. And also a lot of fun.
