Poems and Songs on Vladimir Vysotsky.
Commentary to the song “On Volodya Vysotsky”.
It is pertinent to recall here Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Appeal” (1933):
If I have given you delight By aught that I have done, Let me lie quiet in that night Which shall be yours anon: And for the little, little span The dead are borne in mind, Seek not to question other than The books I leave behind. |
This song is dedicated to Marina Vladimirovna Polyakova (Marina Vladi).
