.. you mark the fate - Alexander Pushkin

Asa, ca norii de pe cer,
Gandurile ne preschimba chipul suav
Pe care, astazi, iubindu-l,
Poti maine sa-l urasti.

Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world.

God grant you, friends, a helping hand—
In cares of state and private plights,
In rowdy feasts of friendship's band,
In passion's sweet and secret rites!
God grant you, friends, a helping hand—
In daily woes and days of strife,
On vacant sa, in distant land,
In every black abyss of life!
