Hello to you, @subjectanomalies, @rain-rainynights, @knight-qoheleth, @echo-temporis!
Please forgive me if I respond a bit late, as right now I am going through the process of taking exams and completing various thesis papers. Also, I apologize for combining two threads with similar questions into one, since I donāt have anything new to add off the top of my head to the list of amusing facts. I also want to thank you for your attentiveness toward me and express warm feelings of gratitude that are hard to put into words ā just like so much else we experience within ourselves in relation to others. Feelings has an inexhaustible variety of forms and is a wonder for the mind. So, letās move on to the amusing facts!
When I was a child, my governess secretly dressed me in girls' clothes. You know, those funny straw hats with blue ribbons and sailor outfits. While walking around, she would tell me I was a "beautiful little girl," even though I was a boy. Eventually, this secret came out, and Mr. Pederastov vanished from the horizon of my sunny childhood.
I once had a red canary that sang like a nightingale. We even held small concerts, where I accompanied her on the recorder. Poor thing died of old age, but I still visit her little makeshift grave at the roots of an old maple tree, made of stones and moss.
Once, I traveled to another city to find an article containing a story by an obscure poet, preserved in a single copy in an old century-old journal, to get a sense of the spirit of the people of that time. Later, I transcribed it in two versions: pre-revolutionary Russian and modern Russian.
I also want to mention @odditywrites123, @quitegaze, and especially @philology-gworl, who also founded a poetry community called @poetry-in-russian, which I can recommend to you. When it comes to poetry, it is filled with lightness, softness, a "Malynovym" color, and, of course, sadness. And even if the community is dedicated to Russian-language poetry, I highly recommend you take a look at her worksābelieve me, you won't regret the time spent learning Russian just to read her poems.
I also deeply appreciate @inky-sun for her, on the contrary, dark-colored poetry, her entwining shadows, her attempt to understand time and the meaning of emotions, and I eagerly await her new works. Her poetry is a dark and beautiful gift. I donāt know whether I am fully worthy of touching such delicate themes, but I have boundless faith in her talent.
@subjectanomalies, you are, as always, wonderful. I know that in this paragraph only those who are given the word are being mentioned, but I simply cannot overlook you because you are also one of my favorite poets. I reread your workāand that alone says a lot. "Trying so hard / To keep my heart / From drying in the blaze"ā¦ Words are directed toward the emotions of those who hear them, but the mind turns away. Thank you for your art!
