Eugene Onegin ( without commentary )

296
Chapter Eight
XII

When one becomes the subject of noisy comments, it's unbearable (you will agree) to pass among 4 sensible people for a feigned eccentric or a sad crackbrain, or a satanic monster, or even for my Demon. 8 Onegin (let me take him up again), having in single combat killed his friend, having without a goal, without exertions, lived to the age of twenty-six, 12 irked by the inactivity of leisure, without employment, wife, or occupation, could think of nothing to take up.
