These poems define lust, desire, onanism, finding and feeling and losing love affairs, childhood longings, and memories - the sum of a sensual being.

Born out of the political turmoil of the English Civil War, Leviathan stands out as one of the most in influential political and philosophical texts of the 17th century.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is the finest Austrian poet of this century and one of the greatest lyrical writers in the history of Western literature. A major figure in the modernist movement, with some affinities to Yeats, Rilke had a profound influence on other 20th century poets such as Pasternak and Akhmatova. He is a master of vivid and breathtakingly original imagery in which difficult ideas are made directly apprehensible to the reader and new worlds of experience are opened up.

Es eso, pero también es la conciencia del instante irrepetible: "Una gota de lluvia temblaba en la enredadera. / Toda la noche está en esa humedad sombría. / De repente la luna ilumina".

Пастернаком надо переболеть. Не так как корью или гриппом, а так, как болеют высокой идеей, мучаясь от невозможности до конца постигнуть, сравнивая свои силы и возможности с силами и возможностями того, кто стал открытием, чьими глазами ты вдруг посмотрел на мир и удивился его цельности, яркости, необычности, его высокому трагизму. Как болел сам Борис Пастернак, найдя в поэзии свою почву, призвание и судьбу. Его поэзия вобрала в себя и страсть к музыке, и интерес к философии.
