Titles of Poems in Doctor Zhivago

Titles of Yuri Zhivago's poems by number, in Russian and with two translations.

I typed this up for myself and thought it would be handy for those following along with the slow-read.

My English translation is the Hayward / Harari translation in the Collins Harvill edition, 1988. Page numbers refer to that edition. The first English title is from the same edition, and the second, from the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation. Where only one English translation is given, the title is the same in both translations.

If anyone would like to see these in Russian, I can provide that, but I’m sure you’ll find them online as well.
