Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a ham actor, not a poet.
The innocent mansion of a panther's heart!
How does one happen to write a poem: where does it come from? That is the question asked by the psychologists or the geneticists of poetry.
What is the poem, after it is written? That is the question. Not where it came from or why.
The twilight is long fingers and black hair.
A poem may be an instance of morality, of social conditions, of psychological history; it may instance all its qualities, but never one of them alone, nor any two or three; never less than all.
