And this is not surprising, because Pushkin’s poems about autumn or Brodsky’s about life are real masterpieces that have enriched world culture. For example, here is a fragment of “Eugene Onegin” translated by Julian Lowenfeld:

I loved you once, and still, perhaps, love’s yearning
Within my soul has not quite burned away.
But may it nevermore be concerning;
I would not wish you sad in any way.
My love for you was wordless, hopeless cruelly,
Drowned now in shyness, now in jealousy,
And I loved you so tenderly, so truly,
As God grant by another you may be.

These and other translations of Pushkin into English were included in Lowenfeld’s collection “My Talisman”. One of those books that help you relax your soul and thoughts, think about travel, about the sea, about dreams and deep feelings. And at the same time expand your English vocabulary by learning it in new forms.
