05.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48
For someone rather private, for someone who all his life has... - his private condition to any role of social significance... - far from his motherland to say the least, for it is better to be a total failure in democracy - than a martyr or the creme de la creme in tyranny... (J. Brodsky, Nobel L. 1987)
Lots of things can be shared:
A bed, a piece of bread, convictions, a mistress - but not a poem by, say, R. M. Rilke...
The philosophy of the state, its ethics - not to mention its aesthetics - are always "yesterday"...
Language and literature are always "today" - they may even constitute "tomorrow" - but it seems to me that, in the capacity of an interlocutor - a book is more reliable than a friend or a beloved...
A novel or a poem is not a monologue, but the conversation, I repeat, that is very private, excluding all others - if you will, mutually misanthropic... - because a novel or a poem is the product of mutual loneliness - of a writer or reader...
We are powerless when it comes to its worst violation:
That of not reading the books... - that we used to inhale the same air, eat the same fish, get soaked by the same - at times radioactive rain, swim in the same sea, get bored by the same kind of conifers. Depending on the wind, the clouds I saw from my window were already seen by you, or vice-versa... (J. Brodsky)
As a poet Brodsky was largely traditional and classical. He dealt with moral, religious and historical themes, and often used mythological allusions...
I who write these lines will cease to be - so will you who read them - But the language in which they are written and in which you read them will remain...
Brodsky began to dispice Lenin already when he was in the 1st grade - because of his omnipresent images which plagued almost every textbook, every class wall, postage stamps, money, and what not - and he read such Western authors as Kafka, Proust, and Faulkner through Polish translations...
In the 1960s, he also translated 'Yellow Submarine' - by The Beatles into Russian...
His poetry appeared in "samizdat" (clandestine circulation) editions but was widely read - Brodsky's reputation made him a target for secret police - and he was convicted as a 'social parasite'...
"Who listed me a member of the human race?" - Brodsky was sent to a mental institution... (Pegasus Author's Calendar)

who read them. But the language in which they are written and in which
you read them will remain " thank you ...
