Alexander Pushkin Quotes

I Was Born For The Peaceful Life,
for Rural Quiet:
the Lyre's Voice In The Wild Is More Resounding,
creative Dreams Are More Alive.
To Harmless Leisures Consecrated,
I Wander By A Wasteful Lake
and Far Niente Is My Rule.
By Every Morn I Am Awakened
unto Sweet Mollitude And Freedom;
little I Read, A Lot I Sleep,
fugitive Fame Do Not Pursue.
Was It Not Thus In Former Years,
that I Spent In Inaction, In The Shade,
my Happiest Days?
