‘FROM THE FLAME AND LIGHT
THE BORN WORD
WOULD NOT FIND AN ANSWER' TAMAMSHEV, Aleksandr Artem’evich.

Iz plamia i sveta [From the Flame and Light].

First edition. The title is taken from a poem by Lermontov (Est’ rechi—znachen’e / Temno il’ nichtozhno … ‘There are speeches – whose meaning / Is obscure or insignificant / But it is impossible to hear them without being moved … From the flame and light / The born word / Would not find an answer / In the worldly noise …’).
