Osip Mandelstam - I do not know how it is elsewhere, but here,...

I do not know how it is elsewhere, but here, in this country, poetry is a healing, life-giving thing, and people have not lost the gift of being able to drink of its inner strength. People can be killed for poetry here?a sign of unparalleled respect?because they are still capable of living by it.
