I do believe in happiness! The sun has not yet faded. Rays Of sunrise like a book of prayers Predict the happy news. Oh yes! I do believe in happiness! Ring , golden Russia, carry on, Oh blow you wind, so unabated! Blessed is the one who celebrated Your shepherd’s sadness, hope forlorn. Ring, golden Russia, carry on! I love the wild impetuous streams, The shine of stars upon the water. The blessed dejection, crying quarter, The blessing people and extremes Of roaring wild impetuous streams.

Why do I like Sergey Yesenin’s poetry? To my mind, he is the only Russian poet of the 20th century who from the very first poetic collections acted as the thin lyric poet, the master of deeply psychological landscape, the singer of Russia, the expert on national language and national soul. Russia was his love and his life. His poems are full of melody and a great number of them became songs and romances.

Was he so unsatisfied with his life?” Very often I ask myself: “Was Yesenin happy? What made him commit suicide being so young, so talented and so famous among people? Did he really do it? Was he so unsatisfied with his life?” …I’m afraid nobody can give an exact answer to all the questions… Nobody except Yesenin himself… …But we’ll always read his poems- so beautiful, thoughtful, unforgettable, full of love- and enjoy them… “The snow is whirling lively and strong, A three horse sleigh is dashing along. Some young ones are in the sleigh. Oh Boy! Where is my happiness? Where is my joy? All has slipped by through the storm in this way, - Dashing like mad in a three horse sleigh.” S. Yesenin October,1925
