3. A BOUT THE AUTHOR Esenin was born into a peasant family. Russian Village, the nature of Russia, folklore, and most importantly - Russian classical literature had a strong influence on the young poet, sent him a natural talent. Like every great poet, Esenin is not mindless singer of their feelings and experiences, and the poet-philosopher. Like any poetry, his philosophic poetry. Philosophical poetry - this is a poem in which the poet speaks of the eternal problems of human existence, is a poetic dialogue with man, nature, earth. After retiring from a life of 30 years, Esenin left us a wonderful poetic heritage. And while the living earth, Esenin-poet, destined to live with us.

6. M Y FAVORITE WORK Слезы Слезы... опять эти горькие слезы, Безотрадная грусть и печаль; Снова мрак... и разбитые грезы Унеслись в бесконечную даль. Что же дальше? Опять эти муки? Нет, довольно... Пора отдохнуть И забыть эти грустные звуки, Уж и так истомилася грудь. Кто поет там под сенью березы? Звуки будто знакомые мне - Это слезы опять... Это слезы И тоска по родной стороне. Но ведь я же на родине милой, А в слезах истомил свою грудь. Эх... лишь, видно, в холодной могиле Я забыться могу и заснуть.

7. A TTITUDE TOWARD THE AUTHOR I met not with all poems by Sergei Esenin, and therefore can not say I love his work or not, but I can say that it is a wonderful poet. It's unfortunate that he was an unhappy man, with a tragic fate. But it could throughout his life carry the love for all living things.
