I Have Outlasted All Desire

by Alexander Pushkin tr. Babette Deutsch

I have outlasted all desire, My dreams and I have grown apart; My grief alone is left entire, The gleanings of an empty heart. The storms of ruthless dispensation Have struck my flowery garland numb- I live in lonely desolation And wonder when my end will come. Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted By tardy winter’s whistling chill, A single leaf which has outlasted Its season will be trembling still.

She is a beauty. Yes, a marble nymph; angelic eyes, unearthly lips

I realized that I've never seen anyone mention it, so here you go.

Trammel, a place where Yulia lives, is called Невод, in Russian. Невод is a very specific outdated word for a fishing net. In most Russian speaking minds it is immediately associated with one and only place where we all have heard it.

Alexander Pushkin, 'The tale of the fisherman and the fish'.

A tale about catching a golden fish.

There's only one character in p1 who is very obviously golden. And lives in Stillwater.

Day 9 - The Swan-Princess

"Then she spread her wings, to soar O’er the waves towards the shore. There, amid a clump of trees, Folded them with graceful ease, Shook herself, and then and there Turned into a maiden fair — In her braids, a crescent beamed, On her brow, a bright star gleamed; She was sweet in form and face, Full of majesty and grace. When she spoke, her sweet voice seemed Like the flow of tinkling streams." (A.S. Pushkin "The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son, the Glorious and Mighty Knight Prince Guidon Saltonovich, and of the Fair Swan-Princess")
