 오랫만에 뵙습니다. 역사가인 W. Bruce Lincoln의 'The Romanovs ; Autocrats of All the Russias'중에 인용되어있는 Aleksandr Pushkin과 Aleksandr Blok의 시입니다. 이 두시는 각각 1817년과 1917년의 러시아수도인 St. Petersburg의 상황을 묘사하고 있습니다. 이 두 시의 비교를 통해 100년동안 러시아가 얼마나 큰 변화를 겪었는지를 짐작해볼 수 있을 것입니다. 'The Bronze Horseman' - Aleksandr Pushkin I love thy ruthless winter, lowering With bitter frost and windless air; The sledges along Neva scouring; Girl's cheeks - no rose so bright and fair! The flash and noise of balls, the chatter; The batchelor's hour of feasting, too; The cups that foam and hiss and spatter, The punch that in the bowl burns blue. I love the warlike animation On playing-fields of Mars; to see The troops of foot and horse in station, And their superb monotony; Their odered, undulating muster; Flags brazen, tattered on the glorious day; Those brazen helmets in their lustre Shot through and riddled in the fray. 'The Twelve' - Aleksandr Blok Black night, White snow. The wind, the wind! It stuns you like a blow. The wind, the wind! Across the world, it gallops to and fro. The wind is weaving The white snow. There is ice below. Stumbling and tumbling, Folk slip and fall. God pity all! From house to house A rope is flung. On it the sagging sign is hung "All power to the Constituent Assembly!" A bent old woman, Tearful, trembly, Stares at the canvas in dispair. Her blear eyes see How many fine foot-wraps could be Cut from the linen wasted there, While the children's feet go bare. |
