The poem:

Rejoice in Simplicity
Simplicity — strength and clothing
Takes pride in nothing
nor elevates anything — 
it is neither gold, nor silver.
The great philosopher simplicity!
Whatever is in the world, the ideal and the impossible — 
only simplicity will do
Let's give it a name — a hero and a knight
March 1915
Petrograd


Above: Alexandra.


Above: Grigori Rasputin.
