«Путешествие в Арзрум» Александра Пушкина — редкий для русской литературы опыт подлинных путевых заметок, написанных поэтом, чьё слово само дышит свободой и свежестью дороги. Перед читателем раскрывается Кавказ и Восток в ярких образах, где каждая гора и каждое лицо словно оживает под пером Пушкина. Здесь нет сухого отчёта — лишь живая речь, лёгкая насмешка, наблюдательность и прозрачная проза, в которой слышится музыка стиха.

The world is changing at the dawn of the twentieth century, but respectable English families still dread a public scandal. So Minnie agrees to accompany her reckless sister, Delia, for a night on the town with her Bohemian friends. The evening involves a raucous house party, a visit to a fortune-teller, and an encounter with a flirtatious baron, but none of that unsettles Minnie more than running into Stephen Dorian, her former employer in Corfu, who stirs in her a mix of resentment and attraction.

Omar Khayyám (1048–1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and a philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime. Later, a body of quatrains became attached to his name, although not all were his works. These verses lay in obscurity until 1859, when Edward FitzGerald (1809–1883), an English country gentleman, published a free adaptation of this Persian poetry. After its discovery by D. G. Rossetti and others, the verse became extremely popular.

Il verso libero è come una porta che si apre verso l'infinito. Lo paragono a quel vagabondo che si sposta da un luogo all'altro, cammina per le montagne e, immerso nella loro vegetazione, si profuma di clorofilla e calpesta a piedi nudi le foglie cadute, per non ferirle, inumidito di rugiada, estasiato mentre guarda la cascata del fiume. Il vagabondo continua la sua marcia fino a raggiungere la riva di una spiaggia vicina, dove contempla il mare, le cui onde vanno e vengono come lui, senza mai fermarsi. Quel vagabondo non pensa all'effimero della vita.

Sie muss erhalten bleiben, bevor sie in die falschen Hände gerät. Und genau Julien Lemoine ist der rechtmäßige Erbe.
