It can lift the speaker toward form, or expose every weak place in him.<\/p>\n<p>Rhyme and meter give the poems pressure. They make longing answer to order, turn embarrassment into cadence and force feeling to become memorable speech.<\/p>\n<p>The beloved woman often becomes the center of value. She may appear as muse, judge, danger, angel, temptation, memory or absence. Through her, the speaker sees the shape of his own desire.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"dr-books-section\" id=\"poems-and-movements\">\n<h2>Poems and movements<\/h2>\n<p>The English poems published individually from the collection are gathered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/\">Poems by Danil Rudoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/my-muse\/\"><em>My Muse<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/tragicomic-read\/\"><em>A Tragicomic Read<\/em><\/a> \u2014 Danil Rudoy\u2019s English translation of Alexander Bashlachev, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/love-is\/\"><em>Love Is<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/the-gamut-of-truth\/\"><em>The Gamut of Truth<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/marriage-market\/\"><em>The Marriage Market<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/a-game-of-skat\/\"><em>A Game of Skat<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/eternal\/\"><em>Eternal<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/sonnet-i\/\"><em>Sonnet I<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/ticket-to-impeccability\/\"><em>Ticket to Impeccability<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/hepburn-blues\/\"><em>Hepburn Blues<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/the-heartless-muse\/\"><em>The Heartless Muse<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/death-of-desire\/\"><em>Death of Desire<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/sonnet-ii\/\"><em>Sonnet II<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/road-to-paradise\/\"><em>Road to Paradise<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/the-city-dark\/\"><em>The City Dark<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/my-farewell\/\"><em>My Farewell<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/the-mastery-of-rhyme\/\"><em>The Mastery of Rhyme<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/recurrent-pattern\/\"><em>Recurrent Pattern<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/chain-of-lies\/\"><em>Chain of Lies<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danilrudoy.com\/en\/poems\/the-emperor-of-self\/\"><em>The Emperor of Self<\/em><\/a>.
