In any man who dies there dies with him
his first snow and kiss and fight.
It goes with him.
They are left books and bridges
and painted canvas and machinery.
Whose fate is to survive.
But what has gone is also not nothing:
by the rule of the game something has gone.
Not people die but worlds die in them.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

In general, in poetry and literature, I am among those people who believe that too much is indispensable.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

No people are uninteresting.
Their fate is like the chronicle of planets.
Nothing in them is not particular,
and planet is dissimilar from planet.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko
