I think the correct spelling of this poet’s last name is Sadovsky.

Subject: [NABOKV-L] author of the
mysterious line found
Some time (half a year or so) ago I asked the list who wrote the line "Blestit slezoi v zenitse Boga" ("[Earth] shines like a tear in God's eye")? The answer is Boris Sadovskoy, in the poem "Leti khot' milliony let..." ("You may fly millions of years..."), 1935. Strange that nobody knew that.
