Boris L. Pasternak, the oldest child of painter Leonid Pasternak and pianist Roza Kaufman, was born in Moscow in 1890...

His parents received constant visits from prominent Moscow writers, artists, and intellectuals, including, the yet unknown R. M. Rilke in 1899, whose writing greatly influenced Pasternak - In addition to his parents, Pasternak's teachers were private tutors - until he entered high school in 1901, where he received a classical education. While he drew well, to the delight of his father, his first love was botany and second music - Inspired by the composer Scriabin, who was a friend of the family, Pasternak devoted 6 years to the study of composition...

He soon turned to philosophy - and although he appeared to be heading toward an academic career, he ultimately gave it up in 1912 to pursue his true calling: poetry - Yet his poetry and prose would always bear the mark of his youthful enthusiasms for music and philosophy - The years preceeding the Revolution were a time of great intellectual and artistic richness in Russia...

It was the age of Kandinsky and Chagall, of Scriabin and Stravinsky... (B. Pasternak, poets.org)

My Sister Life, published in 1922 immediately won Pasternak a place among the leading writers of the time - In the years before its publication, he worked hard as a translator, producing versions of plays by Kleist and Ben Johnson, poems by Hans Sachs, Goethe, Harwegh, and the German Expressionists...

Pasternak continued to write short poems at this time, but like many of his contemporaries, he felt a sense of tragedy - The peaceful order in which a poet could work with security and confidence had been replaced by a world of destruction and antagonism - Pasternak gradually came to believe that poets and artists had no assured place in society - and could only live as outsiders...

In the late 20th came a new wave of intolerance and terror (see Black Friday and 1929 etc. - d.48)... - A clamp-down occured in all fields - including the literary world...

It was a time of crisis - as Pasternak was well aware. Many writers and artists felt the temptation to commit suicide - Pasternak believed that, for the poet, it was essential to overcome this temptation and the fear of the future - and to continue working when art and even spiritual existence were no longer secure - a theory Pasternak expressed through the metaphor "second birth"...

At 60, he was able to afford his own house, a house maid and a cook - In his age, his brain, surprisingly, fell ill with Alzheimer's disease... - he became increasingly forgetful and finally completely disorientated - In February 1804 he died in the morning at 11 o'clock - in a state of extensive derangement... (R.D. Precht)

It is better to go around in a forest with animals - rather than to stay with fools in heaven...

We can live without gold - but we cannot live without water...

There are different types of natural resources: (a) food, (b) clothing, and (c) shelter! - To me these are basic human necessities in ancient times when water and fuel (firewood) were easily available at free of cost in forests (see forests since ca. 2000 etc. - d.48)...

One does not need any light to read and write in a hut (shelter) after dark - no necessity of communications to communicate with others - no need of transportation means to go around - no need of electricity (see solar & wind energy etc. - d.48) and many more that we need now... (Naryan Krishna)
