“Inexhaustible embankment” is one of the most famous essays of Joseph Brodsky, dedicated to Venice. The “Incurabia Foundation” (so it sounds in Italian) really existed in the Middle Ages, and the hospital and the adjacent quarters gave the name to it, which at that time contained hopelessly sick residents infected with plague. When the epidemic, which claimed thousands of lives, retreated, the townspeople built the church of Santa Maria Della Salute, which is still standing in memory of the deliverance. Perhaps this is a place where water and stone are connected, a place not marked on modern maps, reminiscent of a poet hometown. John Appadayk wrote: “The Essay Embankment of Inexperienced is an attempt to turn the point on the globe into a window into a world of universal experiences, the private experience of a chronic Venetian tourist - to a crystal, whose facets would reflect the fullness of life ...” This text was written in Brodsky according to Brodsky -English in 1989. In this edition, it is published in parallel: in the original and translated into Russian, made by a famous poet, critic and translator Grigory Dashevsky
