A Hasty Partisan Response to the Mueller Report
“And art made tongue-tied by authority”
-Sonnet 66, often quoted by Pasternak
The Russian reports on my desk include:
Selected Poems, Yevtushenko
The Possessed, Dostoyevsky
The Zhivago Affair, Finn and Couvee
The Complete Poems of Anna Ahkmatova
August 1914, Solzhenitsyn
And some of them unread, some of them read
And better read than red, so someone said
Some of them shelved (We and The House of the Dead)
But now I’m going to work the flower bed
And what century is it outside? 1
