Alexander Pushkin
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, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.
Alexander Pushkin
With womankind, the less we love them, the easier they become to charm.
Alexander Pushkin
My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you.
Alexander Pushkin
