22. Alexander Pushkin

A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare
In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me
No one to cry for, live for, love.
I pray to mute despair and anguish,
Then came a moment of reinessance,
To vain the pursuits world esteems,
I looked up - you again are there
Long did I hear your soothing accents,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Long did your features haunt my dreams. Of all that's beautiful and rare
Time passed. A rebel storm-blast
scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.
Alexander Pushkin
