We are given love only once how it is impossible to die twice.

I asked the money changer today, What does a ruble give for half a fog? How can I say “I love you” to the beautiful Lala in Persian? And the money changer answered me briefly: They don’t talk about love in words, They sigh about love only furtively, And their eyes, like yachts, burn.

Face to face- you can’t see the face: the big one is seen from a distance.

I true friend, and a terrible enemy, depending on who, when and how!

Our life- a sheet and a bed. Our life is a kiss and a whirlwind.

Learn to laugh when you're sad. Learn to be sad when it's funny. Know how to appear indifferent when your soul is completely different.

If there are no flowers in the middle of winter, so there is no need to be sad about them.

He who loved cannot love,
You can't set fire to someone who's burned out.

Light the stove, make the bed,
There is a blizzard in my heart without you.

It's difficult to sing about feelings. But the great bard succeeded. It’s as if he put music and eternity into the basis of his creations. They will always exist and will never fade.

Sergei Yesenin – I don’t want to be surprised and rejoice, but I wouldn’t want to rot in the wilderness either; I invite you to my estate with regret to the origins of the Russian unsullied soul.

You walk not along a path, but along a road, not counting the joyful days, but don’t touch innocent girls, don’t lure unspoiled beauties.

Life is insignificant and unpleasant when there is an ominous atmosphere and anxiety all around. The rich man's joy is drowned out by loud groans and human cries bursting out from under the ground. Joy will return again when the cries for help subside, and grief and misfortune are forever pushed far beyond the horizon. – S. Yesenin

Again, melancholy and grief covered my heart, soul and body like a veil, again anxiety, blood and sweat smelled from somewhere far away.

In bad weather, storms and the cold of life, with heavy losses, melancholy and sad, appearing happy and businesslike is not just theater, it is also art.

Yesenin: “Whoever has known love and passion has squandered his feelings; whoever has burned to the ground, the ashes will not be lit a second time.”

Dying is nothing new to us, like a speck of dust in the Sun. Life is also not easy for us, let’s drink it to the bottom.

I don’t regret, I don’t call you, I don’t cry at all. After all, everything will dissipate like smoke from white apple trees.

But, of course, you won’t find the truth.

Christ is perfection for me. But I don't believe in him as much as others. Do they believe out of fear of what will happen after death? And I am pure and holy, as a person gifted with a bright mind and a noble soul, as a model in the pursuit of love for one’s neighbor.

Joy is given to the rough, sorrow is given to the gentle.

The dominion of the dollar ate away all desires for any complex issues in them. The American is completely immersed in “Business” and does not want to know the rest.

You cannot see a face face to face; the big one is seen from a distance.

Even if your eyes are half-closed and you are thinking about someone else, I myself don’t love you very much, drowning in the distant dear.

Face to face, you can't see the face. Big things can be seen from a distance.

How absurd our whole life is. She distorts us from the cradle, and instead of truly true people, some monsters come out.

Not everyone can sing, not everyone can fall like an apple at someone else’s feet.

I want to be quiet and strict. I learn from the stars by silence.

You need to live easier, you need to live more simply, accepting everything that is in the world.

Joy is given to the rude. Sorrow is given to the tender.

In a funny way, I got into trouble with my heart, I took up my thoughts in a stupid way.

If you touch the passions in a person, then, of course, you will not find the truth.

So few roads have been traveled, so many mistakes have been made.

In this life, dying is not new, but living, of course, is not new.

Time even crumbles stone.

If it burns, then it burns and burns.

I lovingly follow the indicated path, and my chest does not worry from torment and anxiety.

He who has loved cannot love; he who has burned out cannot be set on fire.

Appearing smiling and simple is the highest art in the world.

ABOUT! These Americans. They are an indestructible moth. Today he is in rags, and tomorrow he is a golden king.

I don’t know how to admire and I wouldn’t want to perish in the wilderness, but I probably forever have the sad tenderness of the Russian soul.

Joy is given to the rude.

Sorrow is given to the tender.

If the holy army shouts:
Throw away Rus', live in paradise!
I will say: There is no need for paradise, Give me my homeland.

If you touch the passions in a person,

Life is a deception with enchanting melancholy.

In thunderstorms, in storms, in everyday shame,
In times of bereavement and when you feel sad,
Seem smiling and simple -

Being a poet means the same thing
If the truths of life are not violated,
Scar yourself on your delicate skin,
With the blood of feelings, caress other people's souls.

In thunderstorms, in storms,
Into everyday shame,
In case of bereavement
And when you're sad,
Seem smiling and simple -
The highest art in the world.

Dying is nothing new in this life,
But life, of course, is not newer.

The dominion of the dollar has consumed in them [the Americans] all aspirations for any complex issues. The American is completely immersed in Business and does not want to know the rest.
(Iron Mirgorod, essay about America, 1923)

Time even crumbles stone.

Foolish heart, don't beat! We are all deceived by happiness.

Joy is given to the rude,
Sorrow is given to the tender.

If you touch the passions in a person,
Then, of course, you won’t find the truth.

Life is a deception with enchanting melancholy.

Life... I cannot understand its purpose, and Christ also did not reveal the purpose of life. He only indicated how to live, but no one knows what can be achieved by this... Yes, but if it is a secret, then let it remain so. But we still need to know why we live... what is life for? Why live? All her petty dreams and aspirations are covered with a wreath of delusion, woven from rose hips. Is it really impossible to figure it out?

But even then, when tribal enmity passes throughout the entire planet, lies and sadness disappear, I will sing with all my being in the poet the sixth part of the earth with the short name “Rus”.

Rather than rotting on the branches, it’s better to burn in the wind.

Foolish heart, don't beat!
We are all deceived by happiness.

We need to live easier, we need to live more simply,
All accepting what is in the world.

To live is to live, to love is to fall in love.

Kiss and walk in moonlit gold.

If you want to worship the dead,
Then don’t poison the living with that dream.

And there is no wife or friend behind the grave.

If it burns, then it burns, burning.

And the month will float and float,
Dropping oars across the lakes,
And Rus' will still live the same way,
Dance and cry at the fence.

May you be blessed forever,
What has come to flourish and die.

He who loved cannot love,
You can't set fire to someone who's burned out.

You can't see face to face.

Big things can be seen from a distance.

Not everyone can sing
Not everyone has an apple
Fall at someone else's feet.

Time even crumbles stone.

Life is a deception with enchanting melancholy.

There is unbridled happiness in friendship
And a spasm of violent feelings -
Fire melts the body
Like a stearic candle.

My beloved! give me your hands -
I'm not used to it any other way, -
I want to wash them in the hour of separation
I'm a yellow foam head.

I'm telling you, you will all die,
All of you will be smothered by the moss of your faith.
In a different way over our arch
The invisible cow god swelled up. – Sergey Yesenin

Oh, and I myself have become somewhat unstable these days,
I won’t make it home from a friendly drinking party. – Sergey Yesenin

There I met a willow, there I noticed a pine tree,
I sang songs to them during the snowstorm about summer.

I seemed to myself to be the same maple tree,
Only not fallen, but completely green.

Long, long hard years
I taught myself the mind of the beast...
You know? People are all with an animal soul, -
That bear, that fox, that she-wolf, -
And life is a big forest,
Where the dawn rushes like a red horseman.
You need strong, strong fangs. – Sergey Yesenin

I lived this life as if by the way,
Together with others on earth... - Sergei Yesenin

They lived their whole life as beggars
And they built temples of God...
Yes, I would have them a long time ago
Rebuilt into latrines. – Sergey Yesenin

Drink, sing in your youth, hit life without a miss -
All the same, the beloved one will bloom with bird cherry. – Sergey Yesenin

And I was obscene and scandalous
in order to burn brighter... – Sergey Yesenin

I couldn't live among people
Cold poison in my soul.
And what he lived and what he loved,
I poisoned myself insanely. – Sergey Yesenin

With my proud soul
I passed by happiness.
I saw the blood spilled
And he cursed faith and love.

And let the slaves of passion live -
Passion is disgusting to my soul. – Sergey Yesenin
