"This article deals with the translation of V.Brusov's five poems from the literary cycle "Dance of Death" in the book "The Dreams of the Mankind", translated into English by Alex Cigale. Judging by the subtitle the author created them according to the motives of the German artist Hans Golbane J.'s paintings "The images of Death". The translation first appeared in "Danse Macabre International" magazine. Of course, Brusov is a very distinctive poet but these translations fully reflect all the power of the poet's intention."
