I think the correct spelling of this poet's last name is Sadovsky.



- George

Subject: [NABOKV-L] author of the mysterious line found



Some time (half a year or so) ago I asked the list who wrote the line
"Blestit slezoi v zenitse Boga" ("[Earth] shines like a tear in God's eye")?
The answer is Boris Sadovskoy, in the poem "Leti khot' milliony let..."
("You may fly millions of years..."), 1935. Strange that nobody knew that.
