A book is one of the greatest wonders
in the world... Thanks to books we can talk
to people who lived in different ages and countries. Through reading books we hear their voices, thoughts and feelings. The book is faithful and undemanding friend: it can be put aside and taken up again at any moment.

Alexander Pushkin
(1799-1837)
My days still linger, slow and
rough
Each moment multiplies the sadness
Within the heart of hapless love Disturbing all the hopes of madness
I'm silent; not a word I breathe.
I weep, my tears -- my consolation My soul, held captive by the grief Still finds delight in this sensation.
No longer do I care if life goes by,
O, hollow phantom into darkness flee;
The sorrow of my love is dear to me--
If I die loving, then I pray let die!
