🔻 In 2004, journalists were extremely surprised when, on the first day of his visit to Moscow, Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino asked to be taken to the cemetery in Peredelkino, to the grave of Boris Pasternak, his literary idol since childhood.
🔻According to eyewitnesses, Tarantino, having visited the cemetery, took several photographs for memory, and then asked the cameramen not to film: he sat for a long time in thought at the grave on the grass, leaning against the monument.
🔻And then he said that he came only for this. He wanted to be a little closer to the person, the personality of whom influenced him so much and that he knows all his poems since childhood.
Have you read any poems by Boris Pasternak yet?

'Хмель' Борис Пастернак (1953)
'Hop' by Boris Pasternak (1953)
🇬🇧 "HOP"
Under a broom, entwined by ivy,
From rain, we’re hiding for the time.
A cloak protects our shoulders slightly,
My arms, around you, intertwined.
No, I was wrong. Among these shrubs,
Not ivy, but green hop has widened.
So, should we spread this cloak, perhaps,
Over the grass for us to lie on?
👇 In the comments to this post there is an audio file 🗣 , Russian and French texts of the poem.

[ sheveli boolkami ]
Literally:
Move the rolls (colloquial, rude).
🔻Асtually there are no rolls/buns here, only buttocks.
🔻If you’re told to 'шевелить булками' (move the rolls), you’re essentially being urged to hurry up or move faster.
🔻The choice of 'rolls' in this idiom adds a touch of whimsy.
• Шевели булками, мы опаздываем!
[ sheveli boolkami ]
🇬🇧 Move your ass! We're going to be late!
