| | Aleksandr Blok |
 | | Blok's poetry, produced by "the fever of the heart, the cold of mind", was praised for his musical flow of words, dream-like spontaneity, in which sound and repetition were used to evoke mood. |
 | | His father, A.L. Blok, was a scholar and professor of law at Warsaw University, his mother, Aleksandra Beketova, was a translator and the daughter of the rector of the University of St. Petersburg. |
 | | Blok was considered a true poet, a visionary, although his prophecy of the approaching destruction was rejected. |
