Pushkin, Lermontov, Nekrasov... Yeah, I'm Russian :-p
Among English poems, I rather like this one by Laurie Lee:
A golden fish like a pint of wine
Rolls the sea undergreen,
Glassily balanced on the tide
Only the skin between.
Fish and water lean together,
Separate and one,
Till a fatal flash of the instant sun
Lazily corkscrews down.
Did fish and water drink each other?
The reed leans there alone;
As we, who once drank each other's breath,
Have emptied the air, and gone.
And of course W.H. Auden:
...I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.

- anonymfus 12y agoThis was a scene from the movie "Бакенбарды" ("Backenbardy", literary "sideburns") where Pushkin cultists encounter Lermontov fanboys. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099097/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099097/
