KOBZAR TARAS OF UKRAINE!
World Poetry Day recently happened and came to know, there were also (birth & death) anniversaries of great Ukrainian Poet Taras Shevchenko in this month!
He was born in 1814 at place called Moryntsi (a village in central Ukraine) and he died in 1861 at Saint Petersburg (now in Russia). He was a visionary who promoted the.. independence of Ukraine!
His writing is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature! He was folklorist in the genre of his poems. His famous book is 'Kobzar' (bard in Ukrainian culture) which was his nickname too!
There are English translations of his poems..
"Our soul shall never perish
Freedom knows no dying.!"
And this one..
"The river empties to the sea
But out it never flows..!"
Taras Shevchenko was a famous painter also! There is film based on his poem..'Kobzar' (2015) made by Bogdan Shevchenko!
Homage to this legendary artist!!
