Subject: [SEELANGS] query: Famous poetry quotations


> Dorogie kollegi:
>
> Can someone point me to a basic Collection of quotations from Russian
> poetry, of the "Famous quotes" variety, either in easily accessible
> book form or on some web-site?
>
> Explanation: I teach an advanced Russian course focused on poetry. As
> part of their work, I want my students to remember certain key lines
> that are commonly known by most Russians.
> I was easy for me to point out the Pushkin lines I wanted them to
> know (e.g. lines from Mednyi Vsadnik, from "Exegi monumentum," from
> "Ia pomniu chudnoe mgnoven'e," from "October 19th" etc.),  ...
> but as we go on it occurs to me that I would like some outside
> confirmation that such-and-such line is indeed famous and popular.
>
> Many many thanks,
