And forget the world - in the sweet silence
I'm sweet lulled by my imagination.
And poetry awakens in me:
Soul shy lyric agitation,
trembles, moans, and looking like a dream,
pour out in the end a free -
And then I go invisible swarm of guests,
old acquaintances, the fruits of my dream, -

writes Pushkin in his poem "Autumn" in 1833 Boldino .
