Perhaps the top Russian poetry writer of his era or even any era as many would declare!
I have read perhaps a dozen or more of his poems. Always greatly admired his fantastic talent. -Tyr
It may be interesting to you that Pushkin's language became Russian literary standard. He wrote not only poems, but literary novels too.
Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
Nor casting pearls to swine.
(A.Pushkin)
