«Знакомство покороче свесть.
Они сошлись. Волна и камень,
Стихи и проза, лёд и пламень
Не столь различны меж собой.
Сперва взаимной разнотой
Они друг другу были скучны;
Потом понравились; потом
Съезжались каждый день верхом,
И скоро стали неразлучны.
Так люди (первый каюсь я)
От делать нечего друзья» (2, XIII, 41).
“And so they met—like wave with mountain,
Like verse with prose, like flame with fountain;
Their natures distant and apart.
At first their differences of heart
Made meetings dull at one another’s;
But then their friendship grew, and soon
They’d meet on horse each afternoon,
And in the end were close as brothers” (Chapter 2, Stanza 13, Page 41).
