What are Mayakovsky's most famous literary contributions?
My verses are not for drawing rooms, not for the perfumed sighs of the bourgeois! I am known for shattering silence with the roar of the revolution. Look at 'A Cloud in Trousers'—it's not about delicate feelings, it's the thunder of a heart that beats for the masses! Or '150,000,000,' a colossal poem where the entire country rises like a tidal wave! I hammered out 'Mystery-Bouffe,' a vibrant, revolutionary spectacle. My words are billboards, my poems are barricades. I want the whole of my country to understand—no more whispers, only the mighty shout of change!
