A.Blok, And I Loved Much. And I... - Translation (Rus.) Comments

I can't tell if Blok is writing autobiographically or using a persona. I tend to think the speaker of the poem is a persona. Whoever this man might be, his way of life is exhausting him morally and not bringing him any happiness. Everything is rushing at a furious velocity, perhaps because of too much alcohol consumption. Blok expresses a dead-end attitude toward this life of sensuality - excessive sensuality. He seems to have no real awareness of the women he either charms or alienates. What should be a heavenly experience is hellish.
