Abstract

In Khodasevich's poem ‘Pamiati kota Murra’ (‘In Memoriam Kater Murr’) the basic orientation towards the language and poetics of the Russian “Golden Age” is also manifested on the level of subtexts. These verses form a continuous chain of quotations and allusions that thus far have not been identified. The article shows reminiscences from poems by Del'vig and Fet, and also from a letter from Pushkin to Pletnev. These texts all play a role in the central motif of Khodasevich's poem – “The Elysium of Poets”.
