Quoting Kallisto: Sorry, do you really think, that Mayakovskiy was so great?
|
I personally don’t like Mayakovski and don’t think that he was so great, he was just declared great by Soviet authorities because of supporting their ideology and transfering it through his poetry to the people.
But this is just my humble opinion.

Then you must also confess that you don't like 20th.century poetry of the world based mainly on Mayakovsky's poetry!

Has anybody read Mayakovsky's letters and telegrams? THAT is poetry, I must say.

It is true that Mayakovsky wrote some really terrible poems, the purpose of which was nothing but to agitate. However this could in no way be enough to cover the great aspect of his art. What we get from modern poetry today, we do owe Mayakovksy!

Slavica - I must also add this: If it hadn't been for Mayakovky, Nazim Hikmet and Pablo Neruda, for example, whom, I know, you do like very much, had never existed as two great poets of the century!

OK, may I modify my message?
I don't like Mayakovski. I don't like any of his poems. This is my personal opinion. It doesn't mean that he was not great.
Satisfied now?

Quoting Capoeira:
I don't think posting a poem is going against the idea of the thread. If there are rules and rule breakers perhaps we should start with the people who posted more than 25 as that is explicitly stated in the title of the thread as well! I find allowing it to evolve into posting a favorite piece, not some sappy homemade love sonnet, is also note worthy and thought provoking.

Here it goes:
1. Alexandr Pushkin
2. Mikhail Lermontov
3. Fedor Tyutchev
