 Description: IT may be a long time yet before Russian poetry is anything more than a word to the great bulk of the English-reading public, and the name of Kalidâsa or Firdûsi would convey to the average mind a far more definite impression than the name of Maïkof, Polonsky or Nekràssof—because every one who is at all on familiar terms with books has met at least the names of the Hindoo and the Persian poet, while it is absolutely certain that not one in a thousand habitual readers, or even students of literature, ever comes across those of the Russians. Yet one name there is, which has pierced through the barrier raised by race difference and an exceedingly difficult language, and is at least as familiar to English and American ears as those of the two Orientals: the name of Pushkin, the centennial anniversary of whose birth was celebrated last year all over Russia.
