Boris Pasternak, from Doctor Zhivago (University of Michigan Press, 1959)

Boris Pasternak (1890 - 1960), from “Wedding”, translated from the Russian by Robert Lowell “Жизнь ведь тоже только миг,  Только растворенье  Нас самих во всех других  Как бы им в даренье.”

Boris Pasternak (1890-1960), in a letter to his sister, Josephine Pasternak (1900-1993) ( Marburg, May 17, 1912 ) translated from the Russian by Elliott Mossman  “ пиши, ты должна писать … Только пиши правду, правду. Как ты видишь, а не так, как говорят, когда говорят о том, что видят. “
