Über Ehe

„A man who's active and incisive
can yet keep nail-care much in mind:
why fight what's known to be decisive?
custom is despot of mankind.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Ch. 1, st. 25.

„Pimen [writing in front of a sacred lamp]:
One more, the final record, and my annals
Are ended, and fulfilled the duty laid
By God on me a sinner. Not in vain
Hath God appointed me for many years
A witness, teaching me the art of letters;
A day will come when some laborious monk
Will bring to light my zealous, nameless toil,
Kindle, as I, his lamp, and from the parchment
Shaking the dust of ages will transcribe
My true narrations.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
(Variant translation): One more story, just one more, And then my history's completed, All my chronicles written down And my sinner's debt repaid to God. Not for nothing. The Lord appointed me to bear witness For many many years and it was he Taught me the art of creating books. One day, in the far future, some hard-working monk Will find my painstaking, anonymous writings. He'll light his lamp, as I light mine, He'lll shake the dust of centuries from these scrolls. Then he'll copy out, carefully, these true accounts, So the descendants of today's Christians May know the past of their native land Remember their mighty Tsars warmly For their glory and their knidness And our Lord's mercy on their sins and crimes. In my old age I live my life anew. Pushkin, Alexander (2012). Pushkin's Boris Gudunov. Oberon Books.

„The less we show our love to a woman,
Or please her less, and neglect our duty,
The more we trap and ruin her surely
In the flattering toils of philandery.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Ch. 4, st. 1.

„Unforced, as conversation passed,
he had the talent of saluting
felicitously every theme,
of listening like a judge-supreme
while serious topics were disputing,
or, with an epigram-surprise,
of kindling smiles in ladies' eyes.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Ch. 1, st. 5.

„Tormented by spiritual thirst,
I dragged myself through a somber desert.
And a six-winged seraph
Appeared to meet me at the crossing of the ways.
He touched my eyes
With fingers as light as a dream:
And my prophetic eyes opened
Like those of a frightened eagle.
He touched my ears
And they were filled with noise and ringing:
And I heard the shuddering of the heavens,
And the flight of the angels in the heights,
And the movement of the beasts of the sea under the waters,
And the sound of the vine growing in the valley.
He bent down to my mouth
And tore out my tongue,
Sinful, decitful, and given to idle talk;
with the right hand steeped in blood
He inserted the tongue of a wise serpent,
Into my benumbed mouth.
He clove my breast with a sword,
And plucked out my quivering heart,
And thrust a coal of live fire
Into my gaping breast.
Like a corpse I lay in the desert.
And the voice of God called out to me:
'Arise, O prophet, see and hear,
Be filled with my will,
Go forth over land and sea,
And set the hearts of men on fire with your Word.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin

„The illusion which exalts us is dearer to us than ten thousand truths.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
The Hero ll. 64-65, quoted in Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov

„God save us from seeing a Russian revolt, senseless and merciless. Those who plot impossible upheavals among us, are either young and do not know our people, or are hard-hearted men who do not care a straw either about their own lives or those of others.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin

„What grace could all your worldly power bring
To One whose crown of thorns has made him King,
The Christ who gave His body to the flails,
Who humbly bore the lance and piercing nails?
Or do you fear the rabble might disgrace The One.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin

„"I have come to you against my wish," she said in a firm voice: "but I have been ordered to grant your request. Three, seven, ace, will win for you if played in succession, but only on these conditions: that you do not play more than one card in twenty-four hours, and that you never play again during the rest of your life. I forgive you my death, on condition that you marry my companion, Lizaveta Ivanovna."“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
V.

„There yet remains but one concluding tale,
And then this chronicle of mine is ended—
Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me,
A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord
Put me to witness much for many years
And educate me in the love of books.
One day some indefatigable monk
Will find my conscientious, unsigned work;
Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp
And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust,
He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Prologue, sec. 5, l. 18-28.

„Always contented with his life,
and with his dinner, and his wife.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Ch. 1, st. 12.

„The clock of doom had struck as fated;
the poet, without a sound,
let fall his pistol on the ground.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Ch. 6, st. 30.

„The heavy hanging chains shall fall,
The walls shall crumble at the word,
And Freedom greet you with the light
And brothers give you back the sword.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
The Decembrists

„Tis time, my friend, ‘tis time!
For rest the heart is aching;
Days follow days in flight, and every day is taking
Fragments of being, while together you and I
Make plans to live. Look, all is dust, and we shall die.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
Tis Time, My Friend, l. 1-5 (1834).

„But, as it is, this pied collection
begs your indulgence — it's been spun
from threads both sad and humoristic,
themes popular or idealistic,
products of carefree hours, of fun,
of sleeplessness, faint inspirations,
of powers unripe, or on the wane,
of reason's icy intimations,
and records of a heart in pain.“

— Aleksandr Pushkin
