Portrait Olenin work O. Kiprenskii
Her eyes
She is sweet - say between us -
Courtly knights storm
And you can with southern stars
Compare, especially poetry,
Her eyes Circassian,
She owns them boldly,
They lit a fire Zhiwei;
But he recognized, whether the case
Olenina my eyes!
What a thoughtful in their genius,
And how childlike simplicity,
And how many languid expressions
And how much of bliss and dreams! ..
Downcast them with a smile Lola -
They modest graces triumph;
Lift - Angel Raphael
So behold the deity.

Sokol. Portrait of AA venison. Ok.1825


May you heart you
She mentioned, replaced
And all the happy dreams
In the soul of love opened.
I stand before her thoughtfully,
Flatten with eyes she had no strength;
And tell her how you are sweet!
And thoughts, as you like!

Pushkin was in love venison.

PRESENTIMENT

Again the clouds above me
Gathered in silence;
Rock envious bedoyu
Threaten me again ...
Save to destiny contempt eh?
Incurred to meet her, eh
Determination and patience
Proud of my youth?

Turbulent life weary,
Indifferently storms forward:
Maybe even saved,
Again, I will find a marina ...
But, in anticipation of separation,
Inevitably, the hour of danger,
Compress your my angel, arm
I hasten to last.

Angel gentle, serene,
Quietly Molvi me: forgive,
Saddened, his gentle eyes
Podymi il deleted;
And your recollection
Replace my soul
Strength, pride, hope
And the courage of young days.


1828
* * *

Alas! The language of love chatty
Language and dark and simple
His prose negligent
You're bothering, my angel.
But sweet sweet virgin ear
Ambitious Apollo.
Her sweet melodies dimensional,
She is sweet rhymes proud ringing.
You afraid of love confessions,
Letter love you razorvesh,
But verse epistle
With a smile, a tender will read.
Blessed be the same now
Fate entrusted me the gift.
Hitherto in life desert
Me feeding the heart glow
I brought on one of persecution,

Ile libel, il imprisonment,
Frigid and rarely praise.

Gradually, she found her own style ?? and theme that is present in all of her pictures: a large woman.
