    Alexander Pushkin
    “I have outlasted all desire,
    My dreams and I have grown apart;
    My grief alone is left entire,
    The gleamings 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.”
    ― Alexander Pushkin

    Alexander Pushkin
    “I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
    The former love has never gone away,
    But let it not recall to you my dole;
    I wish not sadden you in any way.

    I loved you silently, without hope, fully,
    In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain;
    I loved you so tenderly and truly,
    As let you else be loved by any man. ”
    ― Alexander Pushkin

    Robin Bridges
    “All romances ended exactly the same way: a girl realized the surly boy she had hated all along was the only person in the universe who could complete her soul. I did not believe for a minute that my soul could be completed by some surly boy. And I would not wish my curse to harm anyone else. So how could I dare long for love?”
