Question by beautifulwayx: Boris Pasternak Poem?
In the song “Apres Moi” by Regina Spektor, a verse is from a Boris Pasternak poem. I would like to know which poem it is.
In Russian: Fevral’. Dostat’ chernil i plakat’! Pisat’ o fevrale navzryd, Poka grohochuschaya slyakot’ Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.
In English: February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, While torrential slush that roars Burns in the blackness of the spring.
