Pushkin - Queen of Spades |

'Tis time we should return to plain narration,
And thus my narrative proceeds:--Dudu,
With every kindness short of ostentation,
Show'd Juan, or Juanna, through and through
This
labyrinth
of females, and each station
Described--what 's strange--in words extremely few:
I have but one simile, and that 's a blunder,
For wordless woman, which is silent thunder.

and no person of imagination and sensibility can see it without
being charmed by its humor,
thrilled
by its spiritual beauty, and
beneath the spell of its humanity, made deeply conscious that life
is worthless, however its ambition may be rewarded, unless it is
hallowed by love.
