About this book

The Talisman, from the Russian of Alexander Pushkin; With Other Pieces has a contents list that names The Talisman, The Mermaid and The Renegade, among others. The piece headed THE TALISMAN has a first-person voice say that a Sorceress with gentle kisses presented a Talisman. The piece headed THE MERMAID tells of a Monk who, to save his soul, spends his days and nights secluded in fasting, prayer and labours sorest close by a lake.

In one of the pieces, a speaker tells a Tsar that he had comrades, four in number, of whom the first was gloomy midnight and the second a steely dudgeon dagger. The lines about the Renegade describe a turban fallen from the forehead, bystanders starting to assist, and a mouth that foams, and say to see that the Renegade's soul has departed.
