05.02.2008 - Interpretation von dali48
For someone rather private, for someone who all his life has preferred 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...
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...

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)
