Two Worlds (Dva Mira, Два ми′ра) is a tragedy in verse by Apollon Maykov first published (in its full form) in February 1882 issue of "The Russian Messenger". It represents the final part of the poetic cycle dealing with the conflict between paganism and Christianity. In 1882 "Two Worlds" won its author the Pushkin Prize for literature and was hailed as his most prominent work to date.
Maykov's works up through and including 1881 were less noticed by others.
If his most prominent work to date happened in 1882, any work in 1881 or before was less prominent - hence less noticed by other people.
