Bronze Horseman
Other literary references to the poem include Anna Akmatova's "Poem Without a Hero", which mentions the Bronze Horseman "first as the thudding of unseen hooves". Later on, the epilogue describes her escape from the pursuing Horseman. In Valerii Briusov's work “To the Bronze Horseman” published in 1906, the author suggests that the monument is a "representation of eternity, as indifferent to battles and slaughter as it was Evgenii's curses".
