May 24 Joseph Brodsky would have turned 70 years old. But it is not fulfilled, and to celebrate - all the more to celebrate - 70 years of a man who died 55 years, in some sense unnatural. What I am, that several of his peers, in his youth his family, alive, nesomnitelnym way of claiming that he could well now be alive. And the fact that he was gone, meaning that it was not written in the book of fate, or age, or where it is written, be it 70 years. For these figures after the death opens another account calendar: the next date is assigned 100, then 150, 200. Provided that prior to these dates will remain the Russian language, and poetry itself, and interest in the poems of the poet, and his memory.

That no one can know. Another time, other songs. Another composition of the atmosphere - the sound is distributed in it otherwise. And what is poetry if not the sound: voice, accompanied or not accompanied by singing lyric strings? At the moment there are indications that this sound is "survive" the dust Brodsky, buried in San Michele in Venice, "and run away decay; have indicators and the fact that this sound oust symphony unheard before the general oratory, noise, and finally bezyazychiya. Already over a dozen years since his death, the living image replaced the new editions of his books, books and movies about him, and I, for example, requires little effort to wipe the steamy window and see the person whom I knew. In any case, if you will be celebrating its 100 anniversary, it like all such anniversary, stratify on vylepku new image of the poet and to talk about his poetry. Think that Pushkin would have been stunned to discover how perceptions in the public sample 1899 second, not to mention 1999.
But until then for another 30 years, and what we celebrate today is a cause just to recall it until there is someone to remember. The simplest way to describe the funny side of a man, was most amusing to draw attention to his weaknesses. This deals with the vast number of reminiscing. As a result, recall turns out to be like them. Since the only difference: he, for no reason at something else composes. The horse and cart are reversed. It was not because he recalled choose exactly about him that sometimes he could get laughs with a joke or a distraction, and in addition was a poet. It's that he's a poet, and you're with him so I syak I knew chooses you in memoirists. We want to know what you add to what we find in his poetry, and you tell us the average jokes about him and Mays about his relatives.
What Brodsky talented, could be seen a mile away, and close - that it brilliantly talented. As a man lived there two frenzied passion. By independence - from anyone, from any circumstances, nor on the state of health. And the greatness of the main idea - as a lifetime, and any of its rotation. To greatness - which he saw to it that at each stage and step in line with the height of performance. He held a lot of your time and attention. And the place: he had with him closely, his speech filled the space for many. He was not ashamed of his intonations high pressure, zahleba, vzryda - as well as gestures, demanding more and more of the premises, streets and cities. Even when silent, there was a feeling that it sounds: muted, frankly, when seeing it for themselves, and when and uncontrollably.
He was young. Not only in his early years, when simply hard to be young. The code of chivalry virtues of medieval Europe, along with the nobility, virtue, generosity, faithfulness was YouTube. Here are a youth he was young and in 30, and 50. This does not contradict the sober, sophisticated and knowledge-view, which he looked at life and people. From him you could hear unpleasant things. This creates a reputation as an unpleasant man - absolutely wrong: annoying things, but not the one who calls them. In turn, his intellectual clarity intertwined with its inherent purity of innocence, reminding children.
This one attracted, repelled others. The first was many, many fewer than the latter. One of the former mutual friends when he became a Nobel laureate, has spent considerably the strength to get him a visit while in Leningrad, inviting me to the birthday, said: "Just try not to bring a Osya. In the human community would therefore create distrust. From him, you never know what to expect. His installations, considerations and evaluation gave no reason to deduce from them any of the accepted systems in the world. From an early age I noticed that most people look at him with suspicion and not particularly veiled discontent. As a stranger. What is he, to be honest, and is.
Perhaps because Jews historically lived among strangers and feeling - it does not matter, rightly or wrongly - of the danger posed by such attitudes to the poet, who comes from a Jewish environment, attracts attention. Russian Jews are unhappy Fet - who did not want to know (and to annoy him, that still know) about his Jewish blood. Pasternak - because he felt himself fully aware and Russian poet, and Jewish origin was on the extreme periphery of his thoughts (if any exist). Not very happy with Mandelstam - because his fame was ambiguous: if it is true, as they say of him, a genius, he had to gain recognition at least of the same rank, that of Heine, not disreputable disturber of the peace. And Brodsky unhappy - because he wrote Christmas poems and refused to come to Israel in spite of the invitation.
Such a state of mind can only sympathize. Poet - an incredible rarity. Bumping unexpectedly rare stone, we are delighted, but not the requirements of the claim, if it is not the form or color that we have more to your taste. Our taste is our personal passion. We have been given to educate, to change - when faced with the personality, talent, intelligence, self-made man, whom we first knew.
When Brodsky asked, with whom he identifies himself, he replied: "Russian poet, English essayist, an American citizen. Do not see a better combination.
