PASTERNAK, Boris: "I am alone; all round me drowns in falsehood: Life is not a walk across a field”
Boris Pasternak (Russian writer, poet and Literature Nobel Laureate for “Dr Zhivago” in 1958):
“But another drama is in progress,
And, this once, O let me be exempt.
But the plan of action is determined,
And the end irrevocably sealed.
I am alone; all round me drowns in falsehood:
Life is not a walk across a field” (Boris Pasternak, “Hamlet”: http://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/boris-pasternak/hamlet-2/ ) .
