to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostess’s breast.”
—Afanasi Fet (1820–1892)
“I really do not see much use in exalting the humble and meek; they do not remain humble and meek long when they are exalted.”

“O, if you raise this house against this house
It will the woefullest division prove
That ever fell upon this cursed earth.”
