Alexander Pushkin Pins and Buttons

Description: A Little Bird by Alexander Pushkin: In alien lands I keep the body Of ancient native rites and things: I gladly free a little birdie At celebration of the spring. I'm now free for consolation, And thankful to almighty Lord: At least, to one of his creations I've given freedom in this world!

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: “To love all ages yield surrender; But to the young it's raptures bring A blessing bountiful and tender— As storms refresh the fields of spring.”

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: I was born for the peaceful life, for rural quiet: the lyre's voice in the wild is more resounding, creative dreams are more alive. To harmless leisures consecrated, I wander by a wasteful lake and far niente is my rule. By every morn I am awakened unto sweet mollitude and freedom; little I read, a lot I sleep, fugitive fame do not pursue. Was it not thus in former years, that I spent in inaction, in the shade, my happiest days?

Description: I Loved You by Alexander Pushkin: I loved you; even now I may confess, Some embers of my love their fire retain; But do not let it cause you more distress, I do not want to sadden you again. Hopeless and tongue-tied, yet I loved you dearly With pangs the jealous and the timid know; So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely, I pray God grant another love you so.

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: “But whom to love? To trust and treasure? Who won’t betray us in the end? And who’ll be kind enough to measure Our words and deeds as we intend?”

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: “Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world.”

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: It's a lucky man who leaves early from life's banquet before he's drained to the dregs his goblet - full of wine; yes, it's a lucky man who has not read life's novel to the end, but has been wise enough to part with it abruptly...

Description: I Loved You by Alexander Pushkin: I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away, But let it not recall to you my dole; I wish not sadden you in any way. I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain; I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: I've lived to bury my desires and see my dreams corrode with rust now all that's left are fruitless fires that burn my empty heart to dust. Struck by the clouds of cruel fate My crown of Summer bloom is sere Alone and sad, I watch and wait And wonder if the end is near. As conquered by the last cold air When Winter whistles in the wind Alone upon a branch that's bare A trembling leaf is left behind.

Description: Alexander Pushkin quote: Я пережил свои желанья, Я разлюбил свои мечты; Остались мне одни страданья, Плоды сердечной пустоты. Под бурями судьбы жестокой Увял цветущий мой венец — Живу печальный, одинокой, И жду: придёт ли мой конец? Так, поздним хладом поражённый, Как бури слышен зимний свист, Один — на ветке обнаженной Трепещет запоздалый лист!..

Description: Александр Сергеевич Пушкин: “Любви все возрасты покорны; Но юным, девственным сердцам Ее порывы благотворны, Как бури вешние полям”

Description: I want to live to think and to suffer. This hauntingly beautiful mixed-media collage pays tribute to Alexander Pushkin — the father of modern Russian literature, the greatest poet in the Russian language, and a soul so luminous and so dangerous that the tsar's secret police monitored his every word. His elegant classical portrait — painted with the refinement of the early 19th century — is tenderly overlaid with torn fragments of Cyrillic newsprint and dense literary text, as if his own words have wrapped themselves around him like a second skin. A bold vertical strip of newspaper bearing his name in stark modern type cuts through the composition, while raw strokes of crimson red slash across his cheek — passion, poetry, and the duel
