Eugene Onegin ( without commentary )

Chapter Eight
XXXV

Again, without discrimination, he started reading. He read Gibbon, Rousseau, Manzoni, Herder, 4 Chamfort, Mme de Stael, Bichat, Tissot. He read the skeptic Bayle, he read the works of Fontenelle, he read some [authors] of our own, 8 without rejecting anything- the " almanacs" and the reviews where sermons into us are drummed, where I'm today abused so much 12 but where such madrigals addressed tome I used to meet with now and then: e sempre bene, gentlemen.
