Poems

“Edgar for began to write poetry in childhood and continued this lesson until the last day of his life ... The composition of the poems seemed to him a special sphere of human activity, where the desire for excellence is the highest law. He was a daring experimenter who opened up new ways in poetry, but he was an incorrigible perfectionist who rewritten and remade his poems many times, ”so the literary critic Yu.V. Kovalev, whose comments accompany the poems in this collection. The book includes the best translations in more than a hundred years - from K.D. Balmont to modern ones, as well as the sketch of K.D. Balmont "Genius of the Otkritie". The graphics of U.Kh. Robinson is reproduced by the 1900 London publication
