I am and will ever be a Russian poet OR I am a Russian poet, and that I'll ever be OR I'm a Russian poet, and a Russian poet I'll ever be. (this last version sounds a bit better to me)
... The mission of the poet is just that – to give life (animar), in the exact sense of the word: to give soul. Because I am a true poet, and will remain so until my death, I will never stop flagellating myself with the disciplines, and never give up hope that someday my body will run with green or yellow blood. Anything is better than to remain seated in the window looking out on the same landscape. The light of any poet is contradiction. I haven’t tried to force my position on anyone – that would be unworthy of poetry. Poetry doesn't need skilled practitioners, she needs lovers, and she lays down brambles and shards of glass for the hands that search for her with love.

Хоть и не передано вот это "останусь", но смысловая нагрузка понятна, мне кажется.
