Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky, (Russian: Дмитрий Сергеевич Мережковский) was a Russian novelist, poet, religious thinker, and literary critic. A seminal figure of the Silver Age of Russian Poetry, regarded as a co-founder of the Symbolist movement, Merezhkovsky – with his poet wife Zinaida Gippius – was twice forced into political exile. During his second exile (1918–1941) he continued publishing successful novels and gained recognition as a critic of Soviet Russia. Known both as a self-styled religious prophet with his own slant on apocalyptic Christianity, and as the author of philosophical historical novels which combined fervent idealism with literary innovation, Merezhkovsky was a nine times nominee for the Nobel Prize in literature, which he came closest to winning in 1933.

The words he put in Leonardo da Vinci's mouth in his biographical novel Romance of Leonardo da Vinci -- "I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men" -- are echoed by animal rights activists all over the world and have come to often be misattributed to Leonardo da Vinci himself.

Поэтом стать не трудно, всяк уже поэт. Пишешь ли грузно, мало ли тебе лет, способен лаконично излагать, рифмуешь с мастерством великим, всё равно должен знать, останешься лириком забытым. Почему? Ведь стих, что Богом данный. Душа поёт, ты вторишь ей. Выходит снова в рифмах славный, красивый, без лишних затей, образец творчества первейшей высоты… но для кого? Листок всё равно останется пресыщен белезны, не оценит никто. Нужно обладать особым даром, оным редкий поэт обладал, писал и Дмитрий Мережковский даром, талант в себе не развивал.
