Text
«Итак, она звалась Татьяной.
Ни красотой сестры своей,
Ни свежестью её румяной
Не привлекла б она очей.
Дика, печальна, молчалива,
Как лань лесная боязлива,
Она в семье своей родной
Казалась девочкой чужой» (2, XXV, 47).
“So she was called Tatyana, reader.
She lacked that fresh and rosy tone
That made her sister’s beauty sweeter
And drew all eyes to her alone.
A wild creature, sad and pensive,
Shy as a doe and apprehensive,
Tatyana seemed among her kin
A stranger who had wandered in” (Chapter 2, Stanza 25, Page 47).
