Машина времени» tristia (вторая книга скорбных элегий)

Iosif Brodskiĭ pisal, chto prichinoĭ novogo stikhotvorenii͡a i͡avli͡aetsi͡a predydushchee. Sozdaetsi͡a vpechatlenie, chto ne poėt, a predydushchee stikhotvorenie pishet novoe. Perefrazirui͡a ėti slova, mogu skazatʹ, chto prichinoĭ novoĭ knigi mozhet bytʹ predydushchai͡a, i esli ne sama kniga, to ee liricheskiĭ geroĭ pishet sledui͡ushchui͡u. Ėto imeet pri͡amoe otnoshenie ko vtoroĭ knige "Skorbnykh ėlegiĭ" Borisa Khersonskogo. Mozhet bytʹ, o nikh i sleduet govoritʹ kak ob odnoĭ knige - v dvukh nebolʹshikh tomakh.Khersonskiĭ v ėtom sbornike sobiraet obrazy i mysli, sposobnye protivostoi͡atʹ nasilii͡u i khaosu, dai͡ushchie vozmozhnostʹ sosushchestvovatʹ odnovremenno i t͡sennosti͡am proshlogo, i motivam otchai͡anii͡a i nadezhdy. On pytaetsi͡a osmyslitʹ razluku so svoim gorodom, kak nekogda vizantiĭskie mozaiki pytalisʹ "sobratʹ voedino razdroblennyĭ mir".Marii͡a Sot͡st͡saniBrodskai͡a

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
