The Grand Assembly
<em>Eugene Onegin: </em>"Reading Fashion"
A plethora of dandies and ladies dancing together in the ballroom, as part of the 'city' culture that Tatyana enters.

<p>«Её привозят и в Собранье.</p>
<p>Там теснота, волненье, жар,</p>
<p>Музыки грохот, свеч блистанье,</p>
<p>Мельканье, вихорь быстрых пар,</p>
<p>Красавиц легкие уборы,</p>
<p>Людьми пестреющие хоры,</p>
<p>Невест обширный полукруг,</p>
<p>Всё чувства поражает вдруг.</p>
<p>Здесь кажут франты записные</p>
<p>Свое нахальство, свой <span>жилет</span>» (7, LI, 180). </p>
<br /><br />“They take her to the Grand Assembly;<br />
<p>And there the crush, the glare, the heat,</p>
<p>The music’s roar, the ballroom trembling,</p>
<p>Thee whirling flash of pairs of feet,</p>
<p>The beauties in their filmy dresses,</p>
<p>The swarming gallery throng that presses,</p>
<p>The host of girls on marriage hunts—</p>
<p>Assault the senses all at once.</p>
<p>Here practiced dandies bow and slither</p>
<p>To show their gall…and waistcoats too” (Chapter 7, Stanza 51, Page 180).</p>
<p> <br /><br /></p>
