Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (Russian: Афана́сий Афана́сьевич Фет; ), later known as Shenshin (Russian: Шенши́н; ); 5 December 1820 — 3 December 1892), was a Russian poet regarded as one of the finest lyricists in Russian literature.
Famous quotes containing the word fet:
“Half-opening her lips to the frost’s morning sigh, how strangely the rose has smiled on a swift-fleeting day of September!
How audacious it is to advance in stately manner before the blue-tit fluttering in the shrubs that have long lost their leaves, like a queen with the spring’s greeting on her lips;
to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostess’s breast.”
—Afanasi Fet (1820–1892)
