There’s a Photoshop
trick—you can cut people out of photos,
leaving white blanks with human shapes.
My brother-in-law, Oliver Wasow, posted a couple this morning.

Someone thought of Stalin. In the Hemschemeyer Akhmatova book,
there’s a photo of
Alexander Blok and Korney Chukovsky.
Their right hands are clasped. Blok is looking at Korney’s face;
Korney’s eyes are fixed furtively
on a spot just to the right of the camera.
If Blok’s silhouette were whited out,
we might still recognize him from the nose and forehead.

“There are no sounds any more. Can’t you hear that there are no sounds?”
Korney had a wonderful career through the Stalin years—
the “Soviet Dr. Seuss.”
