His father was Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia, the youngest child of Emperor Alexander II. His mother was his father’s mistress, Olga Valerianovna Karnovich, who was still married to Erich Gerhard von Pistohlkors at that time. Old dried rose flower is attached to one of the pages at the poem starting with the line The smell of roses is painful and tender..
