Additional quotes by Alexander Pushkin

Откад зна да лицемери,
Љубомори, наду скрива,
Разочара ил' увери,
Растужи се ил' љут бива;
Час поносит, час послушан,
Пажљив или равнодушан!
Ћуталицом сад се створи,
Сад пламено, живо збори,
Пише л' којој — аљкав био.
Једним дише, једно слави,
Па и себе заборави!
Поглед бистар, нежан, мио,
Стидљив, дрзак; час да дође:
И послушна суза пође

Простите, милые долины,
И вы, знакомых гор вершины,
И вы, знакомые леса;
Прости, небесная краса,
Прости, веселая природа;
Меняю милый, тихий свет
На шум блистательных сует…
Прости ж и ты, моя свобода!
Куда, зачем стремлюся я?
Что мне сулит судьба моя?
