【The Singer】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

          Did you attend? He sang by grove ripe -   

          The bard of love, the singer of his mourning.

          When fields were silent by the early morning,

          Too sad and simple sounds of a pipe

                        Did you attend?

【The Winter Road】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

           Through the misty billows' fingers

           Threads the moon with pallid shade,

           On the dismal glades she lingers,

           Casts her dismal beams’ parade.

           Down the listless winter passage

           Races troika pulled by houn

【To A. P. Kern】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

        I just recall this wondrous instant:

        You have arrived before my face --

        A vision, fleeting in a distance,

        A spirit of the pure grace.

        In pine of sorrow unfair,

【I Loved You…】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

           I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul

           The former love has never gone away,

           But let it not recall to you my dole;

           I wish not sadden you in any way. 

           I loved you silently, without hope, fully,

        From hearing the name, you can expect that Peter is an important figure in this city. Not only are you correct, but you also now know one of the largest people in Russian history. Peter is in a long family line of royal blood that has been ruling the country for centuries. There are many Peters in the house of Romanov, seven, to be exact, so to narrow things down, I am talking about Peter the Great, or Peter the Third,

【The Wish】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

           I shed my tears; my tears – my consolation;

           And I am silent; my murmur is dead,

           My soul, sunk in a depression’s shade,

           Hides in its depths the bitter exultation.

           I don’t deplore my passing dream of life --

【If by Life You Were Deceived】

Alexander Pushkin (1799—1837)

           If by life you were deceived,

           Don't be dismal, don't be wild!

           In the day of grief, be mild:

           Merry days will come, belief.

           The heart is living in tomorrow;

           The present is dejected h

        Marking the tenth day of our trip, something a little special has been planned. Russia, to put it lightly, is a fairly large nation. Oddly, it only has 1.5 hundred million people living in its vastness. Then again, the gigantic Mars has a whopping population of zero humans, so I shouldn't be talking. 

        As one of the most sparsely populated countries, the
