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/ ) .
