All three poems reproduced here are from Blok's third book. Their widely differing character together with the fact that they were all written within the space of eight months-says much for Blok's versatility. For the Dostoevskian nature of To The Muse, which significantly introduces the third book, cf. V. Zhirmunsky: Poeziya Aleksandra Bloka, 1922, Ch. II, pp. 26 ff. Ever nearer the call... The scene is almost certainly Shakhmatovo, Blok's much loved country home near Moscow. Cf. inter alia Maria Beketova: Aleksandr Blok, Alkonost, 1922, 2nd ed. 1930, pp. 37/8. Dreams for the background to this delightful childhood poem, cf. Maria Beketova: Al. Blok i ego mat', 1925, pp. 24/5
