Машина времени» tristia (вторая книга скорбных элегий)

Yosyf Brodskyy pysal, chto prychynoy novogo stykhotvorenyya yavlyaetsya predydushchee. Sozdaetsya vpechatlenye, chto ne poet, a predydushchee stykhotvorenye pyshet novoe. Perefrazyruya ety slova, mogu skazat, chto prychynoy novoy knygy mozhet byt predydushchaya, y esly ne sama knyga, to ee lyrycheskyy geroy pyshet sleduyushchuyu. Eto ymeet pryamoe otnoshenye ko vtoroy knyge «Skorbnykh elegyy» Borysa Khersonskogo. Mozhet byt, o nykh y sleduet govoryt kak ob odnoy knyge — v dvukh nebolshykh tomakh.Khersonskyy v etom sbornyke sobyraet obrazy y mysly, sposobnye protyvostoyat nasylyyu y khaosu, dayushchye vozmozhnost sosushchestvovat odnovremenno y tsennostyam proshlogo, y motyvam otchayanyya y nadezhdy. On pytaetsya osmyslyt razluku so svoym gorodom, kak nekogda vyzantyyskye mozayky pytalys «sobrat voedyno razdroblennyy myr».Maryya SotstsanyBrodskaya

Joseph Brodsky wrote that the reason for the new poem is the previous one. It seems that not the poet, but the previous poem is writing a new one. To paraphrase these words, I can say that the reason for the new book may be the previous one, and if not the book itself, then its lyrical hero is writing the next one. This is directly related to the second book of Boris Hersonsky's "Sorrowful Elegies." Maybe they should be talked about as one book, in two small volumes.In this collection, Khersonsky collects images and thoughts capable of resisting violence and chaos, making it possible for the values of the past and the motives of despair and hope to coexist simultaneously. He is trying to comprehend the separation from his city, as the Byzantine mosaics once tried to "bring together a fragmented world."Maria Sozzanibrodskaya
