…careless lines, reflections…tumultuous recollections…light relief…lively image, witty joke…mistakes I’ve made in grammar…To warm the heart, to entertain…and cause a clamour / With journals…my lively, long endeavour / Though slender work…
On ‘Eugene Onegin’ #Pushkin22
Picked up a copy of THE GOLDEN GATE by #VikramSeth, a verse novel in #OneginStanza, to feed the #PushkinSonnet habit I've developed after taking part in #Pushkin22.
Upon the brink of the wild stream / He stood, and dreamt a mighty dream.

Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.

..depression still kept guard on him, and chased after him like a shadow - or like a faithful wife.

We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.
Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin

It's a lucky man, a very lucky man, who is committed to what he believes, who has stifled intellectual detachment and can relax in the luxury of his emotions - like a tipsy traveller resting for the night at wayside inn.
Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin #Pushkin22
I like to think that from the beginning of 8.XXXVII ("And step by step his thought and feeling / Are lulled into a kind of sleep, / Imagination sets to dealing / Its cards in faro's motley heap.") the action is all composed in Onegin's imagination.

From Istanbul, the seaside wares.
What news of oysters? Here? What rapture!
And off run glutton youth to capture
And slurp from salty shells those bites
Of plump and living anchorites,
With just a dab of lemon flavour.

Letters and lyrics - 2019 نيم
Towards the sea I'd make my way.
And there, my glowing pipe ignited,
By briny waves refreshed and righted,
In Muslim paradise complete,
I'd sip my Turkish coffee sweet.

It's time my pen demands a pillow
Nine cantos have I daily wrought
And now the ninth and final billow
To joyful shore my bark has brought.
All praise to you, O nine Camenae, etc.

Oh, many, many days have fled
Since young Tatyana and her lover,
As in a misty dream at night,
First floated dimply into sight---
And I as yet could not uncover
Or through the magic crystal see
My novel's shape or what would be.

Whatever, reader, your reaction,
And whether you be foe or friend,
I hope we part in satisfaction...
As comrades now. Whatever end
You may have sought in these reflections-
Tumultuous, fond recollections,
Relief from labours for a time
Live images, or wit in rhyme
#Pushkin22
My stylish house where princes dine-
Are empty...I'd soon be trading
This tattered life of masquerading,
This world of glitter, fumes and noise,
For just my books, the simple joys
#Pushkin22
We've got to have forbidden fruit,
Or Eden's joys for us are moot.

Blessed is he who leaves the glory
Of life's gay feast ere time is up,
Who does not drain the brimming cup,
Nor reads the ending of the story,
But drops it without more ado,
As, my Onegin, I drop you.
Well, I enjoyed it to the last drop. But time's up. Big fan of #Pushkin22 now!
Of brilliant Nina Voronsjaya,
That Cleopatra if the North

Shishkov, be kind:
I can't translate this phrase, I find.)
#Pushkin22
He felt a restless, vague ambition,
A craving for a change of air
( A most unfortunate condition-
A cross not many chose to bear).
