The sharp pangs of the first pogrom year were now dulled, and only suppressed moans echoed the uninterrupted "silent pogrom" of oppression. These were years of which the Jewish poet, Simon Frug, could sing: Round about all is silent and cheerless, Like a lonesome and desert-like plain. If but one were courageous and fearless And would cry out aloud in his pain!
Gordon, whose sorrow had silenced his muse, was inspired once more and called: Behold our sons, of whom we despaired, Return to us, the great and the small; God's grace is not ended, our power's unimpaired, Again we shall live, and rise after the fall! Frug sang in Russian: My own Nation, Thou art not alone; thy sons behold Coming back in crowds as in days of old!
Several prominent Jewish writers lived for many years in St. Petersburg on this "flunkeyish" basis among them the talented young poet Simon Frug, the singer of Jewish sorrow who was fast establishing for himself a reputation both in Jewish and in Russian literature. It can easily be realized how precarious was the position of these men.
Among their publications were, besides the original writings of Peretz, Taviov, Frischman, Berdichevsky, Chernikhovsky, and others, also translations from Bogrov, Byron, Frug, Hugo, Nordau, Shakespeare, Spencer, Zangwill, Zola, critical biographies of Aristotle, Copernicus, George Eliot, Heine, Lassalle, Nietzsche, Rousseau, and a great many equally famous men of letters, which followed each other in promiscuous but uninterrupted succession, all handsomely printed and prettily bound, and sold at a moderate price.
