Ivan Turgenev


Dumb and mighty, as a tree grows on a fruitful soil.	1
Incessant as the squeaking cry of a monkey.	2
Emotional effusions are like licorice-root. When you take your first suck at it, it doesn’t seem so bad, but it leaves a very bad taste in your mouth afterward.	3
Sparkling like young wine which has ceased to ferment.	4
The egoist withers like a solitary barren tree.	5
