Mikhail Lermontov/young Cadet

Famous quotes containing the words lermontov and/or young:

    Beneath the azure current floweth;
    Above, the golden sunlight glows.
    Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
    As if the storms could give repose.
    —Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)

    “Darling,
    will you come home today
    after a few hours,
    or at noon,
    or a little later,
    or when the whole day’s passed?”
    A young wife
    with tearful words stuck in her throat
    spoils the departure of her man
    who wishes to go to a land
    that takes a hundred days
    to reach.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
