created in the Pavlovsk park. V. Zhukovsky wrote about the

Pavlovsk park “With every step there is a new picture in my eyes”. Between the Parade Field and the White Birch one more beautiful building was created. It was the Rosy Pavilion. It was built in 1807. It was “the shrine of Flora, decorated by its favourite works of art”. Many roses blossomed around this building. Inside there were roses too. They were painted on the vases, in the pictures….
The Rosy Pavilion was the place of meetings such well-known poets and writers as Zhukovsky, Krylov, Karamzin, Gnedich. Maybe Pushkin was there too, because he wrote about one of the monuments “I saw as marble is crying”. Zhukovsky liked the Pavlovsk Palace very much and he wrote many poems about it. And I know that many of us like them.
