[close] Honestly, I love poetry - and classical Russian verses are very beautiful. They are close to in style, but not as complex as, classical Indian verse which makes them very simple to read, but also very meaningful. Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I use the English translation provided, which I'm sure changes the power and meaning - but then again, after you read enough poetry, you do start to get a feel for the grandeur of certain styles and topics even if you can't understand them fully. Definitely a wonderful collection
