Читать книгу Евгений Онегин / Eugene Onegin - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, Александр Пушкин, Pushkin Aleksandr - Страница 75

And you, young pretties, not the ladies,

Whom in the night time now and then

The dashing cabs by cobbled roadways

Speed at full tilt, Onegin them

Had also left without care.

This apostate of love and play

Stayed home in loneliness and tried

The life by stories to describe.

But writing novels is hard work,

He yawned not once and then had found

That writing novels isn’t his ground,

The trade of writers isn’t his shop.

I can’t make judgments just because

I, by myself, belong to those.
