The user asked if I know the poem "Зараза" by Nikolai Gumilev and if I can quote it. Since Gumilev passed away in 1921 and the poem may be from the early 1900s, it could be in the public domain. Russian copyright law typically places works in the public domain 70 years after the author's death. So, it seems likely that "Зараза" is public domain. I’ll double-check to be sure before quoting it!

In Russia, works are public domain if published more than 70 years after the author's death, so Nikolai Gumilev's works, including "Зараза," are likely public domain since he died in 1921. It's more than 70 years now, and that should apply internationally, including in Russia. While the poem seems to be fair game for quoting, I need to ensure there are no issues with quoting extended passages, but it's safe to assume here that, yes, it's allowed!

I’ve confirmed that the poem "Зараза" by Nikolay Gumilev, from 1907, is part of the public domain. Since Gumilev died in 1921, his works are typically in the public domain in many jurisdictions. The user asked for a quote, and I can provide the full poem given its status. I can pretty confidently share the full text from the Wikisource version as there are no additional copyright issues. Time to share the poem!
