Lermontov's Demon I:XV

[Kevin Christianson]

What about this:

The time of their meeting, the time of their separation
Brings them neither sadness nor joy
They desire nothing for the future
Nor regret anything in the past

Chas = time, moment
Zhal = regret, remorse, feeling sorry about sth 

Kevin


Does anyone happen to have on hand a translation (including name of
translator) of the following 4 lines from part I pgph XV of "Demon"?:

×àñ ðàçëóêè, ÷àñ ñâèäàíüÿ

Èì íè ðàäîñòü, íè ïå÷àëü; 

Èì â ãðÿäóøåì íåò æåëàíüÿ 

È ïðîøåäøåãî íå æàëü..." 

 

In transliteration 

Chas razluki, chas svidan'ya

Im ni radost', ni pechal';

Im v gryadushem net zhelan'ya

I proshedshego ne zhal'..."  


It came up as a quote in a project this morning...Thanks, it will save me a trip!
