The last poetic creation of Maximilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin
Via : https://tamarajer.livejournal.com/133135.html
For the first time, the poet Voloshin saw an icon at the Historical Museum in Moscow in the spring of 1924.
For several days in a row he came to the icon and stood in front of her for hours. « All these days
I live in the radiance of this amazing face, » he wrote S. Z. Fedorchenko April 9, 1924.
Photo reproduction from the museum icon since the spring of 1925 stood on his desktop
Our Lady of Vladimir Mary holding Christ religious icon
(Shortened excerpt - poem)
In the hot mountains of Byzantium,
In evil days of chasing icons
Her face from the fire element
He was embodied in earthly clothes.
From everything that the century boiled, -
You went through the waters of blue rivers
To Kiev princely escaping murders.
And since then during the hours of folk troubles
Your image above Russia ascended
In the darkness of centuries it showed us a trace
And in the dungeon - the exit is hidden.
You, having left doomed Kiev,
She breathed the magnificent table.
And she left with Andrei in Bogolyubov
In the delight and wilderness of the Vladimir forests
In a cramped world of dry pine logs,
Under the mark of the tent domes.
From forests, deserts and coasts
Everyone went to you to pray:
Smoke shone altars,
The little queens lay,
The gloomy kings bowed…
Black death and bloody battle
The girl was a glowing veil,
What octopus of prayer for all
All Russia has been illuminated for centuries.
And Our Lady of Vladimir
Blind people in a year of anger
When the cougar approaches
Raises a cry in front of churches, -
From under the roses and pious crusts
You revealed your true Face.
Light Face of Wisdom-Sofia,
Frozen in mocking Moscow,
And in the future - Mother Russia itself -
Mother Vladimirskaya, - you -
Hold two keys: gold in Her abode,
To the fate of our woe, rust.
- Maximilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin
