Alexander Pushkin

My dreams, my dreams! What has become of their sweetness? What indeed has become of my youth?
Alexander Pushkin
Image
I loved you even now I may confess, Some embers of my love their fire retain But do not let it cause you more distress, I do not want to sadden you again. Hopeless and tongue tied, yet I loved you dearly With pangs the jealous and the timid know So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely, I pray God grant another love you so.

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.
Alexander Pushkin

Love passed, the Muse appeared, the weather of mind got clarity new-found now free, I once more weave together emotion, thought, and magic sound.
Alexander Pushkin

I am married and happy. My only wish is that nothing will change.
Alexander Pushkin

Ecstasy is a glass full of tea and a piece of sugar in the mouth.
Alexander Pushkin

To love all ages yield surrender But to the young it's raptures bring A blessing bountiful and tender- As storms refresh the fields of spring.
Alexander Pushkin

Unrequited love is not an affront to man but raises him.
