Reverent hymns in honor of the incomparable Lady, poignant poems about Russia, poems from the famous cycles “Poems about a Beautiful Lady”, “Snow Mask”, “On the Kulikovo Field”, “Terrible World”, “Carmen”, “Italian Poems” and many others included in this book. The “Trilogy of Incarnation”, compiled by Blok, like every Blok cycle, is a great event in Russian poetry, and each poem is an integral part of this event. The theme of past sublime love, past happiness, forever lost Light runs through the entire work of the poet. The symbolists were waiting for the second coming of Christ, and the revolution began... “The Bloc is a union, all-unifying, omnipotent music...” writes Dmitry Bykov in the article “The Indestructible Blok”, which opens this book.
