MARINA TSVETAYEVA
from "Separation"
Tighter and tighter wringing my hands
Till they be riven—
Between us are not the miles of earth
But the rivers of heaven,
Of separation, the azure lands
Where my friend is forever
Inalienable.
The highway dashes
In silvery harness;
My hands are not wrung now
But open, reaching
Soundlessly,
Like the ash tree climbing
After a flight of cranes.
To fly like the cranes and not look back!
Haughtiness
Would be mine, and in death’s country
In costly dress
I would arrive, to your fleet feathers
A last buttress
In the airy losses of space.

İlkin güçbela örtündük paçavralarla,
Sonra kodeslerde ve şölenlerde
saçlarımızdaki takımyıldızlarla
değiş tokuş ettik cenneti,
Yıldızlı gecelerde, cennetin
elma bahçelerinde.

Day Three: “In March I’ll be rested, caught up and human.” (March 8th)
Happy International Women’s day! Women have influenced society from its beginning, and a large part of that has been through literature. We want to know what quote/s by women represent your OC! Or even, what quotes or lyrics does your OC use to ground herself. Feel free to use any female made quote, it doesn’t have to be from poetry or a book!
Marianne Ouellet and Comfort/Love
Exist For Love by AURORA / My Love Mine All Mine by Mistki / The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood / Writing Prompts For the Broken-Hearted by Eden Robinson / Nikita Gill / Marina Tsvetayeva
Marianne has been through her own pain. All she wanted then was for someone to hold her and say it would be okay. She wants nothing more than to be that for other people.

Ooooh I would love to hear about your hypothetical curriculum for St. Petersburg!
In my mind, there are two other parallel versions of me that chose other fields of study. There's one who chose theology, and there's one who chose Russian lit.
So five-ish years ago, I read St. Petersburg: A Cultural History by Solomon Volkov. I absolutely adored it. As I read, I kept a running list of all the literature, music, and art that I wanted to look up and experience once I had finished the book. This turned into a sort of self-taught class on the literature of St. Petersburg, which continues to be one of my greatest fascinations. I read voraciously, listened to little but Petersburg opera for months (hit me up for Russian opera recs!), and when I read other Russian cultural histories, I kept similar lists and read even more. I've still got quite a lot of Russian classics on my to be read list, but this technique gave me a wonderful start, which led me in turn to create this hypothetical lit curriculum. I would love nothing more than to somehow share Petersburg's beautiful body of poetry, prose, and essay with others.
Note: this is probably a bit more than would fit in a standard undergrad semester, but I've already made substantial cuts from the original lists and can't bring myself to pare it down anymore. Suspend your disbelief, etc.
The Petersburg Mythos
Alexander Pushkin: The Bronze Horseman and The Queen of Spades
Mikhail Lomonosov: Masquerade
Nikolai Gogol: The Nevsky Prospect and The Overcoat
Fyodor Dostoyevsky: White Nights and Crime and Punishment. Maybe also The Adolescent if there's time; if not, I would at least include one particular excerpt from it.
Ivan Turgenev: Home of the Gentry
Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina
Yevgeny Zamyatin: “Moscow-Petersburg”
Essay: Using “Moscow-Petersburg” as a framework, examine the projected mythos of St. Petersburg in contrast to that of another major city in Europe, Asia, America, or even in fiction.
The Silver Age
Alexandre Benois: “Picturesque Petersburg”
Andrei Bely: Petersburg
Boris Pasternak: “February” “A Wedding” “My Sister, Life” “Hamlet”
Alexander Blok: “The Dances of Death” “The City Sleeps” “The Stranger”
Nikolay Gumilyov: “The Lost Tram” “The Sixth Sense”
Anna Akhmatova: "The Prayer"
Marina Tsvetayeva: “To Akhmatova”
Essay: While the influence of Golden Age literature on the Silver Age is clear, many have noted an air of dread and anticipation preceding the Bolshevik Revolution in their work is well. Was St. Petersburg of the Silver Age more past- or future-oriented? Defend your answer.
The Martyr City
Anna Akhmatova: Untitled poem on Gumilyov’s arrest
Osip Mandelstam: “Leningrad,” “Petropolis,” Untitled “Help me, O Lord…”
Yevgeny Zamyatin: The Cave
Konstantin Vaginov: The Goat Song
Yuri Tynyanov: The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar
Anna Akhmatova: “Requiem” and “Poem Without a Hero”
Mikhail Zoshchenko: Nervous People
Choose an emotional response to the suffering of the early Soviet Era, such as grief, alienation, fear, or hope, and analyze its presence in the literature of early to mid-century Leningrad.
Expatriates, Non-Russians, and the End of the Soviet Era
Vladimir Nabokov: Speak, Memory
Alexander Kushner: selections from We Cannot Choose Times…
Andy Croft: Epilogue to “Fellow Travellers”
Olga Berggolts: Untitled “We pronounced the simplest, poorest words…”
Vladamir Kornilov: “Freedom”
Essay: How does the writing of those who are alienated from St. Petersburg’s identity in some way differ from those who are immersed in it? (In order to answer this question, you will need to decide: What is St. Petersburg’s identity?)
#i think i'm gonna start migrating my Russia posts over to this blog#clearly this community has an interest#and i yearn to share this sort of thing with you all#i had a really tough time tracking down a lot of these poems and essays#back when i first read them#so if anyone has that same problem let me know and I can probably help#i have a stockpile#it's an absurdly long word document that probably ought to be a folder or something#i would sell body parts for a chance to visit St. Petersburg#russia where are you flying to?#literature makes us more human#ask me hard questions#really glad you asked for this one friend#sorry it took so long
