Glory to you, hopeless pain!

The gray -eyed king died yesterday.

Autumn evening was puffed and al,

My husband, returning, calmly said:

“You know, they brought him from hunting,

The body of the old oak was found.

Sorry to the queen. So young!..

During the night, she became a widow. ”

I found my pipe on the fireplace

And he went to night work.

I'll wake my daughter now,

I'll look at her gray eyes.

And outside the window they rustle the poplar:

"There is no king on earth ..."

“Love verses printed, of course, other poets. But Akhmatova was the first to “construct” a literary love situation when a woman in public readings and on the pages of periodicals created a “novel” in which she chose a real, even well -known man turned out to be a subject.

This literary “Roman” almost immediately attracted the acute interest of the reading audience, because the subject of the literary Sharada Akhmatova was none other than the block. Akhmatova turned his weapon against him, using partially his own tricks.

The first, focused on Blok, Akhmatova, was the “gray -eyed king”, which appeared in 1911 in Apollo, which became phenomenally popular in Apollo. (The famous chansonnier Alexander Vertinsky sang it to the music and sang it in the cabar.) The fact that the Blok had cold gray -blue eyes, the public was known for the famous portrait of 1907 of the work member of Konstantin Somov. In subsequent years, the number of Akhmatova’s love verses in this vein increased; They appeared “my famous contemporary”, wearing a “short, sonorous name”, a restrained gray -eyed poet. There was no doubt for the capital's readers: these verses turned to the block, which informed them of a special sensation.

The block reacted to this defiantly bold attempt by Akhmatova to change the rules of the game with careful interest. Apparently, he firmly decided that he would not meet Akhmatova in real life. The mother of Blok, with whom the poet shared his most intimate secrets, commented so - unscarried, but extremely expressively - this is his decision in a letter to her friend: “I am waiting for Sasha and love a woman, anxious and deep, and therefore, and, and therefore, and, and therefore, and, and therefore, and The gentle ... And there is such a young poetess, Anna Akhmatova, who reaches out to him and would be ready to love him. He turns her away from her, although she is beautiful and talented, but sad. And he does not like it. " And, having quoted the first two lines from the ballad Akhmatova:

Glory to you, hopeless pain!

The gray -eyed king died yesterday, -

According to S. Volkov’s book “The History of the Culture of St. Petersburg from the founding to the present day”

Akhmatova belonged to her first poetic collection very critically. “In the winter of 1910-1911, I wrote poetry that compiled the book“ Evening, ”she recalls in autobiographical notes. -For some reason, these poor verses of the empty girl are reprinted for the thirteenth time (the record dates back to 1957.-L. m.) ... The girl herself (as far as I remember) did not predict such fate and hid the numbers of magazines under the sofa pillows where they were They should have appeared, "so as not to be upset." From the grief that the “evening” appeared, she even left for Italy (1912, spring). ” The success of the “gray -eyed king” was especially annoyed by Akhmatov. There is a legend that in a conversation with Faina Ranevskaya, a magnificent actress and a very witty woman who complained to Akhmatova, that the audience knows her, in fact, one phrase from a popular movie: “Mule, do not nervous me!”, Akhmatova answered with a sigh: ““ What to do, each of us has our own mule ”, implying precisely the“ gray -eyed king ”(according to the later memories of Ranevskaya, it was about another poem). However, in this case, the great poetess was not right, which quite often happens with the exacting artists who too strictly evaluating their works.
