There is a certain light. that darkness will not crush... Bunin I.A.

In our time, Bunin is mainly known as a brilliant prose writer, but he considered himself primarily a poet, and his poems were widely popular both in Russia and in emigration, among readers of Russian abroad.

Ivan Bunin in verses was exactly the same as in prose - an ideal stylist with a unique sense of the word. His poetics are noble, images are honed and jewelry, metaphors are stingy and invariably appropriate. Simple and refined, emphasized by external effects, these poems are perceived surprisingly easily and remain in memory for a long time.
