On May 2, 1857, to the great joy of all his people and many friends beyond the Ukraine, he was re- leased and returned to St. Petersburg. A man broken in body, but with an indominable spirit, he set to writing poems with the majesty of an Old Testament prophet's denunciation of the social ills of the day. At the age « of 47, on March 10, 1861 -- only two days before the abolition of serfdom in the Ukraine and throughout the Tzarist Russia, Shevchenko passed away. The brevity of Shevchenko's life makes more profound his great achievement. Of his 47 year life span he spent 24 years a serf, nine years a free man, three and a half years under police surveillance amd the rest in prison barracks. NOW "TI will, therefore, strive to deared him to his people for all time,"" he said, Mr. Wladyka went on to say that "much like the poems of Bobby Burns of Scotland, Shev- chenko's poems sprung from the soil, from nature herself, common people and echoed the poems penetrated the In 1845 at the age of 31 Shev- the operator's questions, said mended that the resoluti Mrs, Mazurk.
