Eugene Onegin ( without commentary )

XXX

Alas, on various pastimes I have wasted a lot of life!

But to this day, if morals did not suffer, 4 I'd still like balls. I like riotous youth, the crush, the glitter, and the gladness, and the considered dresses of the ladies 5 8 I like their little feet; but then 'tis doubtful that in all Russia you will find three pairs of shapely feminine feet.

Ah me, I long could not forget 12 two little feet!… Despondent, fervorless, I still remember them, and in sleep they disturb my heart.
