Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or drama:
“My verse has brought me no roubles to spare:
no craftsmen have made mahogany chairs for my house.”

“Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart’s drama and the negative meaning of history.”
