Andrei Voznesensky Quote

Everything's sliding apart.
Yet, "Long live everything!"
For the art of creation
Is older than the art of killing.


"Lines to Robert Lowell"; translation by Louis Simpson and Vera Dunham, from Vera Dunham and Max Hayward (eds.) Nostalgia for the Present (New York: Doubleday, 1978) p. 111.


Everything's sliding apart. Yet, Long live everything! For the art of creation Is older than the art of killing.

Everything's sliding apart. Yet, Long live everything! For the art of creation Is older than the art of killing.

Everything's sliding apart. Yet, Long live everything! For the art of creation Is older than the art of killing.

Everything's sliding apart. Yet, Long live everything! For the art of creation Is older than the art of killing.
