Dear Antip! But not the part about time, just the genre you, that is, per capita does not lay down. But the soul something different, each has his own preference Of course, we all "wrong" portraits in his time had seen, but as a wonderful genre of painting a portrait of eternal (sorry, lofty happened).

PORTRAIT
Love the painting, poets!
Only she, only, given
Soul changeable signs
Transfer to the canvas.

Do you remember how the darkness of the past,
As soon wrapped up in an atlas
With portrait Rokotov again
Struyskaya She looked at us?

Her eyes - how two fog
Half-smile, poluplach,
Her eyes - how two deception
Mist-covered failures.

Connecting two riddles
Poluvostorg, poluispug,
Mad tenderness fit,
Anticipating the death agony.

When darkness come
And the approaching storm
From the bottom of my soul shine
Her beautiful eyes.
1953
Nicholas Zabolotskii
