  There’s a green oak-tree by the shores
  Of blue bay; on a gold chain,
  The cat, learned in the fable stories,
  Walks round the tree in ceaseless strain:
  Moves to the right – a song it groans,
  Moves to the left – it tells a tale.
  Who wrote these lines?

  A Crater on Mercury is named in honor of Pushkin .

  With lead in breast and vengeful fire,
  Drooped with his ever-proud head.

  He served in the Hussar Leib Guard regiment in Tsarskoye Selo. For his poem "The Death of the Poet“ he was arrested and sent into exile. On the way to the Caucasus Lermontov spent a month in Moscow.

  Lermontov had fun upsetting somebody else’s marriage preparations. He was posing as a desperate lover, pouring the bride with flowers, poems, gifts and other signs of attention. He did not hesitate to threaten, with a promise to commit suicide if his “Juliet” gives her hand to another. But as soon as the marriage was broken off, “the poet in love” quickly replaced his ardent love with cold indifference. Or openly declared his playing a trick, while laughing at the “victim”...

  I blurred at once the chart of trite routine
  by splashing paint with one swift motion.
  I showed upon a plate of brawny glutin
  the slanting cheekbones of the ocean
  Upon the scales of tinny fishes
  new lips summoned, though yet mute.
  But could you
  play
  right to the finish
  a nocturne on a drainpipe flute?
  Can you identify the poet?
