# Education and Art in Soviet Russia/Document 24

​ The Soviet Government, as the reader will observe if he refers to Document No. 1, above—discovered that the bourgeoisie was selling its works of art and also looting public collections and selling their paintings to foreign collectors. As this was hostile to the artistic interests of the proletariat, the exportation of art objects was prohibited (Document No. 24); but in another field, the Soviet Government was eager to part with art objects, namely, such as had been taken by conquest or other dishonest means, from Poland, and, with this object in view, a census of such objects in Russian museums was undertaken (Document No. 25).
DOCUMENT No. 24
Concerning Export of Art Objects
The Collegium of the Commissariat of Education has passed a decree prohibiting the export and sale of art objects and relics abroad and laid it before the Soviet of People's Commissaries.
The Museum Section is preparing an instruction concerning this prohibition and elucidating the decree.
The Section invites representatives of the Commissariat and Custom House Department, with a view of cooperating in the solution of problems connected with the practical realization of the decree.

TO DEPENDENCE.
DEPENDENCE! heavy, heavy are thy chains,  And happier they who from the dangerous sea, Or the dark mine, procure with ceaseless pains  A hard-earn'd pittance—than who trust to thee! More blest the hind, who from his bed of flock  Starts—when the birds of morn their summons give, And waken'd by the lark—"the shepherd's clock,"  Lives but to labour—labouring but to live. More noble than the sycophant, whose art  Must heap with tawdry flowers thy hated shrine; I envy not the meed thou canst impart  To crown his service—while, tho' Pride combine With Fraud to crush me—my unfetter'd heart  Still to the Mountain Nymph may offer mine.

THE GLOW-WORM.
WHEN on some balmy-breathing night of Spring  The happy child, to whom the world is new, Pursues the evening moth, of mealy wing,  Or from the heath-bell beats the sparkling dew; He sees before his inexperienced eyes  The brilliant Glow-worm, like a meteor, shine On the turf-bank;—amazed, and pleased, he cries,  "Star of the dewy grass!—I make thee mine!"— Then, ere he sleep, collects "the moisten'd" flower,  And bids soft leaves his glittering prize enfold, And dreams that Fairy-lamps illume his bower:  Yet with the morning shudders to behold His lucid treasure, rayless as the dust! —So turn the world's bright joys to cold and blank disgust.

TO SPRING.
AGAIN the wood and long-withdrawing vale,  In many a tint of tender green are drest, Where the young leaves, unfolding, scarce conceal  Beneath their early shade, the half-form'd nest Of finch or woodlark; and the primrose pale,  And lavish cowslip, wildly scatter'd round, Give their sweet spirits to the sighing gale.  Ah! season of delight!——could aught be found  To soothe awhile the tortured bosom's pain,  Of Sorrow's rankling shaft to cure the wound,  And bring life's first delusions once again, 'Twere surely met in thee!——thy prospect fair, > Thy sounds of harmony, thy balmy air,> Have power to cure all sadness——but despair.>

TO HOPE.
O, HOPE! thou soother sweet of human woes!  How shall I lure thee to my haunts forlorn? For me wilt thou renew the wither'd rose,  And clear my painful path of pointed thorn? Ah, come, sweet nymph! in smiles and softness drest,  Like the young Hours that lead the tender Year; Enchantress, come! and charm my cares to rest:——  Alas! the flatterer flies, and will not hear! A prey to fear, anxiety, and pain,  Must I a sad existence still deplore? Lo!——the flowers fade, but all the thorns remain,  'For me the vernal garland blooms no more.' Come then, 'pale Misery's love!' be thou my cure, And I will bless thee, who, tho' slow, art sure.

TO MRS. G.
AH! why will Mem'ry with officious care  The long-lost visions of my days renew?
Why paint the vernal landscape green and fair,  When Life's gay dawn was opening to my view? Ah! wherefore bring those moments of delight,  When with my Anna, on the southern shore, I thought the future, as the present bright?  Ye dear delusions!——ye return no more! Alas! how diff'rent does the truth appear,  From the warm picture youth's rash hand pourtrays! How fades the scene, as we approach it near,  And pain and sorrow strike—how many ways! Yet of that tender heart, ah! still retain A share for me——and I will not complain.

TO THE SOUTH DOWNS.
AH! hills belov'd!——where once a happy child,  Your beechen shades, 'your turf, your flowers among,' I wove your blue-bells into garlands wild,  And woke your echoes with my artless song. Ah! hills belov'd!——your turf, your flowers remain;  But can they peace to this sad breast restore; For one poor moment sooth the sense of pain,  And teach a breaking heart to throb no more? And you, Aruna!——in the vale below,  As to the sea your limpid waves you bear, Can you one kind Lethean cup bestow,  To drink a long oblivion to my care? Ah! no!——when all, e'en Hope's last ray is gone, There's no oblivion——but in death alone!

ON THE DEPARTURE OF THE NIGHTINGALE.
SWEET poet of the woods!——a long adieu!  Farewel, soft minstrel of the early year! Ah! 'twill be long ere thou shalt sing anew,  And pour thy music on 'the Night's dull ear.' Whether on Spring thy wandering flights await,  Or whether silent in our groves you dwell, The pensive Muse shall own thee for her mate,  And still protect the song she loves so well. With cautious step the love-lorn youth shall glide  Thro' the lone brake that shades thy mossy nest; And shepherd girls, from eyes profane shall hide  The gentle bird, who sings of pity best: For still thy voice shall soft affections move, And still be dear to Sorrow, and to Love!

TO SLEEP.
COME, balmy Sleep! tired Nature's soft resort!  On these sad temples all thy poppies shed;
And bid gay dreams, from Morpheus' airy court,  Float in light vision round my aching head! Secure of all thy blessings, partial Power!  On his hard bed the peasant throws him down; And the poor sea-boy, in the rudest hour,  Enjoys thee more than he who wears a crown. Clasp'd in her faithful shepherd's guardian arms,  Well may the village-girl sweet slumbers prove; And they, O gentle Sleep! still taste thy charms,  Who wake to labour, liberty, and love. But still thy opiate aid dost thou deny To calm the anxious breast; to close the streaming eye.

SONNET XII.
WRITTEN ON THE SEA SHORE,—OCTOBER, 1784.
ON some rude fragment of the rocky shore,  Where on the fractured cliff the billows break,  Musing, my solitary seat I take, And listen to the deep and solemn roar.
O'er the dark waves the winds tempestuous howl;  The screaming sea-bird quits the troubled sea:  But the wild gloomy scene has charms for me, And suits the mournful temper of my soul.
Already shipwreck'd by the storms of Fate,  Like the poor mariner, methinks, I stand,  Cast on a rock; who sees the distant land From whence no succour comes—or comes too late. Faint and more faint are heard his feeble cries, 'Till in the rising tide the exhausted sufferer dies.

FROM PETRARCH.
OH! place me where the burning moon  Forbids the wither'd flower to blow; Or place me in the frigid zone,  On mountains of eternal snow: Let me pursue the steps of Fame,  Or Poverty's more tranquil road; Let youth's warm tide my veins inflame,  Or sixty winters chill my blood: Tho' my fond soul to heaven were flown,  Or tho' on earth 'tis doom'd to pine, Prisoner or free—obscure or known,  My heart, O Laura! still is thine. Whate'er my destiny may be, That faithful heart still burns for thee!

TO THE MUSE.
WILT thou forsake me who in life's bright May  Lent warmer lustre to the radiant morn;  And even o'er Summer scenes by tempests torn, Shed with illusive light the dewy ray Of pensive pleasure? Wilt thou, while the day  Of saddening Autumn closes, as I mourn In languid, hopeless sorrow, far away  Bend thy soft step, and never more return?— Crush'd to the earth, by bitterest anguish prest,  From my faint eyes thy graceful form recedes;  Thou canst not heal an heart like mine that bleeds; But, when in quiet earth that heart shall rest,  Haply may'st thou one sorrowing vigil keep,  Where Pity and Remembrance bend and weep!

TO THE SUN.
WHETHER awaken'd from unquiet rest
  I watch "the opening eyelids of the Morn,"
When thou, O Sun! from Ocean's silver'd breast
  Emerging, bidst another day be born—
Or whether in thy path of cloudless blue,
  Thy noontide fires I mark with dazzled eyes;
Or to the West thy radiant course pursue,
  Veil'd in the gorgeous broidery of the skies,
Celestial lamp! thy influence bright and warm
  That renovates the world with life and light
Shines not for me—for never more the form
  I loved—so fondly loved, shall bless my sight;
And nought thy rays illumine, now can charm
  My misery, or to day convert my night!

SNOWDROPS.
WAN Heralds of the Sun and Summer gale!  That seem just fallen from infant Zephyrs' wing; Not now, as once, with heart revived I hail  Your modest buds, that for the brow of Spring Form the first simple garland—Now no more  Escaping for a moment all my cares, Shall I, with pensive, silent step, explore  The woods yet leafless; where to chilling airs Your green and pencil'd blossoms, trembling, wave.  Ah! ye soft, transient children of the ground, More fair was she on whose untimely grave  Flow my unceasing tears! Their varied round The Seasons go; while I through all repine: For fixt regret, and hopeless grief are mine.

HE may be envied, who with tranquil breast  Can wander in the wild and woodland scene, When Summer's glowing hands have newly drest  The shadowy forests, and the copses green; Who, unpursued by care, can pass his hours  Where briony and woodbine fringe the trees,  On thymy banks reposing, while the bees Murmur "their fairy tunes in praise of flowers;"  Or on the rock with ivy clad, and fern
That overhangs the osier-whispering bed  Of some clear current, bid his wishes turn From this bad world; and by calm reason led,  Knows, in refined retirement, to possess  By friendship hallow'd—rural happiness!

THE SEA VIEW.
THE upland shepherd, as reclined he lies  On the soft turf that clothes the mountain brow, Marks the bright Sea-line mingling with the skies;  Or from his course celestial, sinking slow,  The Summer-Sun in purple radiance low, Blaze on the western waters; the wide scene  Magnificent, and tranquil, seems to spread Even o'er the Rustic's breast a joy serene,  When, like dark plague-spots by the Demons shed, Charged deep with death, upon the waves, far seen,  Move the war-freighted ships; and fierce and red,  Flash their destructive fires—The mangled dead And dying victims then pollute the flood. Ah, thus man spoils Heaven's glorious works with blood!

TO THE INVISIBLE MOON.
DARK and conceal'd art thou, soft Evening's Queen,
 And Melancholy's votaries that delight To watch thee, gliding thro' the blue serene,  Now vainly seek thee on the brow of night— Mild Sorrow, such as Hope has not forsook,  May love to muse beneath thy silent reign; But I prefer from some steep rock to look  On the obscure and fluctuating main, What time the martial star with lurid glare,  Portentous, gleams above the troubled deep; Or the red comet shakes his blazing hair;  Or on the fire-ting'd waves the lightnings leap; While thy fair beams illume another sky, And shine for beings less accurst than I.

MUTE is thy wild harp, now, O Bard sublime!  Who, amid Scotia's mountain solitude, Great Nature taught to "build the lofty rhyme,"  And even beneath the daily pressure, rude, Of labouring Poverty, thy generous blood, Fired with the love of freedom—Not subdued  Wert thou by thy low fortune: But a time  Like this we live in, when the abject chime Of echoing Parasite is best approved,  Was not for thee—Indignantly is fled Thy noble Spirit; and no longer moved  By all the ills o'er which thine heart has bled,  Associate worthy of the illustrious dead, Enjoys with them "the Liberty it loved."

THE fairest flowers are gone! for tempests fell,  And with wild wing swept some unblown away, While on the upland lawn or rocky dell  More faded in the day-star's ardent ray; And scarce the copse, or hedge-row shade beneath,  Or by the runnel's grassy course, appear  Some lingering blossoms of the earlier year, Mingling bright florets, in the yellow wreath That Autumn with his poppies and his corn  Binds on his tawny temples—So the schemes Rais'd by fond Hope in youth's unclouded morn,  While sanguine youth enjoys delusive dreams, Experience withers; till scarce one remains Flattering the languid heart, where only Reason reigns!

WRITTEN NEAR A PORT ON A DARK EVENING.
HUGE vapours brood above the clifted shore,
 Night on the Ocean settles, dark and mute,
Save where is heard the repercussive roar
 Of drowsy billows, on the rugged foot
Of rocks remote; or still more distant tone
 Of seamen in the anchor'd bark that tell
The watch reliev'd; or one deep voice alone,
 Singing the hour, and bidding "Strike the bell,"
All is black shadow, but the lucid line
 Mark'd by the light surf on the level sand,
Or where afar the ship-lights faintly shine
 Like wandering fairy fires, that oft on land
Mislead the Pilgrim——Such the dubious ray
That wavering Reason lends, in life's long darkling way.
