One by one forging his laws, to be flung Like horseshoes at the head, the eye, or the groin. And every killing is a treat For the broad-chested Ossete.

Ossip Mandelstam

1891-01-03 — 1938-12-27 · Varsóvia

Ossip Mandelstam was an influential Russian poet, considered one of the greatest exponents of 20th-century poetry. His work is marked by intellectual depth, richness of imagery, and the ability to evoke time and memory. He faced political repression in the Soviet Union, which led to his arrest and death in tragic circumstances. His poetry, although often dark and marked by pain, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of art in the face of adversity.
