Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Poem of the End with no The in the title is the best known poem by Russian poet Vasilisk Gnedov . One of the most radically experimental poets of Russian Futurism , Gnedov s Poem of the End consisted of its title alone on a blank page. Gnedov would perform the poem on stage using a silent gesture. The collection from which it came, Death to Art 1913 , contained fifteen very short poems that gradually reduced in size from one line, to one word, one letter, and ultimately to Poem of the End. The poem has been compared to Kazimir Malevich s painting Black Square 1915 , John Cage s silent composition 4 33 1952 , and to Minimalism in general. A recreation of the performance of the poem was realized in 2007 by Miguel Molina, and released on cd by Recommended Records ReR Megacorp in a limited edition of 150 in 2009. The recording for the cd consists of approximately one hour of silence as captured via a wax cylinder, a recording device appropriate to the time. The Poem of the End with The in the title is a major poem by the White migr White Russian symbolist poet Marina Tsvetaeva . Written in Prague in 1924, the poem details the end of a passionate affair with Konstantin Boeslavovich Rozdevitch, a former military officer. Each of the sections deals with the crossing of a bridge and the symbolism is echoed relentlessly throughout the poem the mood is unremittingly tense and foreboding. Lovers for the most part are without hope passion also is just a bridge, a means of connection from the Elaine Feinstein translation .

wikisource The Rhyming Poem The Rhyming Poem , also written as The Riming Poem , is a poem of 87 lines found in the Exeter Book , a tenth century collection of Old English poetry. It is remarkable for being no later than the 10th century, in Old English language Old English , and written in rhyming couplets. Rhyme is otherwise virtually unknown among Anglo Saxon literature, which used alliterative verse instead. The poem is found on folios 94r 95v, in the third booklet of the Exeter Book, which may, or may not, be an indication of composition. Many scholarly attempts have been made to decipher the collation of the Exeter Book and to determine if works were placed in the manuscript by date or theme. Unlike the Monstrarum Librum of the Beowulf manuscript, the Exeter Book appears to be a self consciously archival collection. The poem concerns the troubles and transience of life. It contrasts the life of a ruler, from the time of his birth to his prosperous rule and life at court lines 1 42 , with his life after his fall, the subsequent rise of hostilities lines 43 69 and his death lines ...
