In line with this spirit of celebration, I have translated a captivating poem titled “A blue fire swept away” by Sergei Yesenin from the 1920s. This poem delves into the theme of a passionate awakening, acknowledging past mistakes, and the profound commitment to dedicate oneself entirely to a beloved, never losing sight of their presence. It is a beautiful expression of love and devotion.
To complement the imagery of the blue fire sweeping away, I decided to include a painting called “The Tempest” by Ivan Aivazovsky. This stunning artwork depicts an awe-inspiring scene where the power of water takes center stage instead of fire. The tempestuous waves around a lone ship capture the essence of an untamed and powerful force of nature.

| Заметался пожар голубой Сергея Есенина | A blue fire swept away, |

| Как умеет любить хулиган | How a hooligan is able to love |
| Заметался пожар голубой, | A blue fire swept away, |
| Позабылись родимые дали. | The forgotten familiar homeland. |
| В первый раз я запел про любовь, | For the first time I sang about love |
| В первый раз отрекаюсь скандалить. | For the first time I renounce to cause a scene. |
| Был я весь — как запущенный сад, | I was completely like a neglected garden |
| Был на женщин и зелие падкий. I was greedy for women and potions. | I was greedy for women and liquors. |
| Разонравилось пить и плясать | I stopped liking drinking and dancing |
