My heart is open to you alone.
My soul is devoted to dark melodies.

You’re sick. Live more simply. You are a poet, a senseless singing being; however, you are fated to express the thoughts of others. They just don’t know how to state everything that you say. Woe to you, if you prompt the people with their own secret, crazy thoughts.
— Alexander Blok, Aleksandr Blok’s Trilogy of Lyric Dramas, ‘The King on the Square’, transl by Timothy C. Westphalen, (2003)
