But this is only the firstpart, the second personifies the real events of Russia, which during the "fracture" is filled with tears of the people, and each one separately hopes for his own, different from others, a happy life. Then again:
"I'm asleep - and for a nap mystery, And Rus dies in secret."
Actually, many poets at that time were immersed intheir fantasies and more focused their attention on the unusual still wild nature that prevailed in every corner of Russia, to forget for a while that at that time the country was poor and the people unhappy. And A. Blok writes:
"Where are the hosts with the crows?"
Censure of cereals in the fields. "

"Where are the diverse people
They lead night dances. "

"And there, in the cemetery, spending the night,
He sang a lot of songs for a long time. "
