Additional quotes by Alexander Pushkin

О люди! все похожи вы
На прародительницу Эву:
Что вам дано, то не влечет,
Вас непрестанно змий зовет
К себе, к таинственному древу;
Запретный плод вам подавай,
А без того вам рай не рай.
27 evgenij-onegin xiii Russian

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