Poems about the Beautiful Lady

A thin lyricist, mystically sensitive and deeply symbolic poet, Alexander Blok is one of the key figures of Russian poetry of the early 20th century. His poems are characterized by a special height and purity of sound: in them, as the precise observation of Marina Tsvetaeva goes, there are «few earthly signs», and therefore, once feeling their magical power, the reader seems to be initiated into mysteries and higher truths.
