"I HOPE THAT THIS "BUT" IS POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME, IN OTHER WORDS, IF TO BE MORE EXACT, NOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT, IF IT IS THIS "BUT" ABOUT WHICH I AM ALREADY AWARE. AND I THINK YOU SHOULD BE MORE OPEN, SIMPLY COME. WE'LL BE GLAD TO SEE YOU. IF YOU DON'T COME I'LL GET ANGRY. K.B."

"PROPHET"

 

"Will there by justice?
Will there be punishment
Of all the Czars
on the land?
Will there be truth
among people.......?
There must be,
otherwise the sun will rise
and set on fire
the whole land".


Taras Shevchenko
(Oh, My Poor, Poor People!)
3. XI, 1860 Petersburg

 

The postcard was probably printed in the early 1970's.

TARAS SHEVCHENKO, 1814-1861, Bard of Ukraine, the greatest Ukrainian Poet and Fighter for the independence of Ukraine and the freedom of all mankind, who under foreign Russian imperialist tyranny and colonial rule appealed for "The new and righteous law of Washington." His poems glorified the lost freedom and statehood of Ukraine. Czar Nicholas had him arrested and exiled to Russian Asia in 1847. When an amnesty was granted 10 years later, Shevchenko was broken in health and soon died. Ukrainian Melody Hour P.O. Box 2257, Washington, D.C. 20013
