WAVES: 1, by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: We were in georgia. You can get this land | |||
We were in Georgia. You can get this land If hell is multiplied by paradise, Bare indigence by tenderness, and if A hothouse serves as pedestal for ice. And then you'll know what subtle doses of Success and labor, duty, mountain air Make the right mixture with the earth and sky For man to be the way we found him there. So that he grew, in famine and defeat And bondage, to this stature, without fault, Becoming thus a model and a mold, Something as stable and as plain as salt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEFINITION OF CREATIVENESS by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK ON EARLY TRAINS by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK THE PROXY by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK DROWSY GARDEN by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK WE'RE FEW by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK DO NOT TOUCH by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK IMPROVISATION by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK OUT OF SUPERSTITION by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK SUMMER DAY by BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK |
