St Gregory the Theologian. Selected Poems
Abstract
In Theological Bulletin No. 4 (2004), Priest Andrew Zuevsky, in an article preceding his remarkable translation of the poem "On the Soul", gave a general characterisation of the poetic heritage of St Gregory the Theologian and emphasised how important it is to work on creating, if not a complete, then at least a sufficiently extensive collection of Russian poetic translations of this heritage, taking into account the rich experience of the Russian poetic and translation tradition. Indeed, although a prose translation often provides a somewhat more accurate rendering of thought, it nevertheless loses the fundamental, qualitative difference between poetry and any other speech, which allows the author to immerse himself in a quiet conversation with himself, which we so often observe in the poems of the great Cappadocians.
