Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin [Сергей Александрович Есенин], 1895-1925, sometimes spelled as Esenin, was a Russian lyric poet. He is one of the most popular and well-known Russian poets of the 20th century, known for "his lyrical evocations of and nostalgia for the village life of his childhood - no idyll, presented in all its rawness, with an implied curse on urbanisation and industrialisation."

Born of peasant parents, he received very little formal education, and although he later traveled quite extensively it was the pre-revolution countryside of his youth that served as inspiration for most of his poetry. Yesenin initially supported the Bolshevik revolution, thinking that it would prove beneficial to the peasant class, but he became disenchanted when he saw that it would lead only to the industrialization of Russia. A longing for a return to the simplicity of the peasant lifestyle characterizes his work, as does his innovative use of images drawn from village lore. He is credited with helping to establish the Imaginist movement in Russian literature.

Yesenin led an erratic, unconventional life that was punctuated by bouts of drunkenness and insanity. Before hanging himself in a Leningrad hotel, Yesenin slit his wrists, and, using his own blood, wrote a farewell poem.

إن حلمي لشيء آخر
شيء غريب على مسمع الأرض واعشابها
لا القلب يُعبر عنه بكلمة
ولا أحد يعرف له إِسما ..

وداعا، وداعا
يا صديقي، أنت في القلب مني.
إن افتراقنا المحدد هذا
ليعدنا بلقاء فيما بعد

*

وداعا، يا صديقي، دون مصافحة، دون كلمات
لا تحزن، ولا تقطبّ حاجبا.
ليس جديدا أن نموت في عالمنا هذا
وليس أكثر جدةً، بالطبع، أن نعيش.
