Pasternak Poem by Liza Sud
Pasternak
My Dear Friend, my Teacher and my Brother
My Pasternak, my grizzled Pasternak,
you have presented me boots and a cap
Olyushka with Irinushka in dark.
And Ariadnushku, Varlamushku as pals
And you yourself were at my foot forever
How I love you in my shy snivel
And will commemorate in the Last Ah.
Because you you have become for me - ascending,
In Me You Glow as a Lightning,
And Mandelstam in his bright series,
Marina in rainbow attires,
And All the Rus became my fate
And flamy handwriting of Blok
And Pushkin's the Most Lucent range,
And Russian letters' Native Squad.

IN ME YOU GLOW AS LIGHTNING What a wonderful way to identitfy Pasternk's impact on you! The keyn line to this poem is ALL OF RUS IS MY FATE, and you embrace this fate through the poets. All of them are familiar to me so I can feel their energy rushing through your words into my mind where they take up residence. Your intimate address to Pasternak is simply wonderful. And Akhmatova wrote that FEAR AND THE MUSE kept watch over Mandelstamm in his exile, a fate suffered by too many innocent people. But they are all in God's Heaven or in deep repose now and their words inspire us who still live and strive. We are blessed by their poems.
