Who Bloks Who? ( think A Space Odyssey, Hal when reading this) Hi Dave.. Hi Arthur.. I might Blok you Dave Ah you may but then I would have to Blok you too Still Dave I would be first to Blok so I would win Oh Arthur you can try, but I still may out Blok you Ok Dave I see you are challenging me, so I am so gonna Blok you You just watch Dave........ Do neglect all your dear creations Not Bad Arthur, however I one up that Blok…… Do neglect all your hot earthly passions How about this one Dave..... Think in days, and say prayers in nights. Well Arthur I can do so much better..... If your spirit is burning and troubling, Drive your high inspiration away Maybe, maybe not, Only wisdom is ready for coming To Great Night from the life’s everyday Arthur, I one up yet again!! On the earth you will not be awarded. In clear spirits before the God’s face Ah ha, and now, the grand finale, chess master am I Slow fade in a right, lone mode At the leave of the icon lamp’s blaze... Notes: I will soon post the answer to this riddle, in the mean time who can figure out this “infinite dot universe poem” ? Answers: I wrote this as two poets challenging each other on their knowledge of a very famous Russian poet, by reciting lines from one of his poems to each other! .... the famous poets name is of course “ Alexander Blok” Alexander Alexandrovich Blok; 28 November [O.S. 16 November] 1880 – 7 August 1921) was a Russian lyrical poet. And being a “lyrical poet” well I guess you all know why I choose Dave (Lyric Man) as one of the poets! The photo above is ofcourse a portrait of Alexander Blok !

Yes he is a very famous poet, of course the lines are a translation so maybe not as good as the Russian lines.
