two men constantly filled each other more and more with
universal hatred of liberty and the personal feeling of
their boundless sinfulness. They both ended as insane
mystics.[1]
Zhukovski’s life spans the whole of that of the epoch-making
Russian national poet. He prepares the way for
Pushkin, becomes his friend, and ascends his vacant
throne without being able to cause his predecessor to
be forgotten. Zhukovski was sixteen years older than
Pushkin, whom he survives for fifteen years. His
importance vanishes by the side of the younger man, who
began life as his and Derzhavin’s imitator.
