JM: (according to Field) in the Russian Parnassus "Pushkin is a rainbow over all the land"?
 
It is the opening line of a poem by VN (the second one in the two-poem cycle "On the Death of A. Blok," 1921):
 
Пушкин - радуга по всей земле.
 
Parnassus is not mentioned in this (or the preceding) poem.
 
Btw., a quiz: "Armless dwarf in a tail-coat." Who is it? (no googling, please)
