Tchaikovsky on Fet: "Fet, like Beethoven, has been given the power to affect those strings of our soul which are inaccessible to artists...who are limited to words. He is...more of a poet-musician, since he avoids those themes which lend themselves easily to verbal expression.”

Tchaikovsky’s very first composition was for a poem by Afanasy Fet; a poem he set to music, at the age of 16. Here is a recording of that song - ‘My genius, my angel, my friend’https://youtu.be/-MKonHP8gdk

Very insightful and beautifully written. Discovered Fet and now want to explore him. The evolution of the 'Art for Art's sake' proposition (which I do tend to concur with), perhaps as a rejoinder to 'All art is(must be) political' is very interesting.

P.S. I really like how you describe "meeting" poets in different books...it makes the association much more personal.
