Every evening, Dawn goes out as soon as,
I say goodbye, desire burning death,
And again, at dawn on a cold day,
Life cover me, and I have destroyed!
I say goodbye and good, goodbye and evil,
And hope and fear of separation from earthly,
In the morning meeting with the earth again,
That evil curse, oh well toskovaty!..
God, God, full of power and energy,
Is it possible that all of you to live this way put,
to death, by morning dreams,
Thee yearning without rest bore?..

*wee longing (lat.).
Great poem,in which the main character of the Block,and first of all, it is Blok himself, wants to die in the abode of death and sleep. This is truly a blockbuster theme.. Here he is to some extent continuing the thoughts of Lermontov in the poem “I go out alone on the road”. Well, Mikhail Lermontov himself continues the topic “Hamlet”,that is, actually the thoughts of the Danish prince,invented by Shakespeare about death sleep,but more optimistic thoughts about this dream than Hamlet’s. And already in the twentieth century, the fellow countryman of the Bloc,Leningrad poet Gleb Semenov touches the same topic in the poem “About wisdom”. Many authors were not afraid of this topic.,for poetry and death are as close as philosophy and death are close. So what to do? Sad life to the limit saturated with suffering and pain, she throws such thoughts to people herself,that they can stay in the human head, regardless of the age of the carrier of these thoughts.
