Pushkin

The wedge

There is a long and narrow sea wave there

He stood filled with great thoughts

The river ran broadly and the canoe

Swayed on the waves desolate and lonely

In the wet moss-covered Along the shore

There are dark huts here and there

Poor Finns live there

The sun hides in a thick fog

A forest that has never seen sunlight

Noisy all around

And he thought

We are going to threaten Sweden from here

Build a castle here

Embarrass your arrogant neighbors

Nature has set up a window here

We open it and it will lead to Europe

We must stand firm on the seashore

Sails from all countries will come together

Travel on this new sea journey

And we will dance in the sea and in the air

A hundred years later, the young city

has become the pearl and miracle of the North

From the dark woods From the swamp

It raised its brilliant and proud head high

There were only Finnish fishermen here

Like nature's melancholy stepson

Lonely near the low wet river bank

Throwing his old fishing net

into the deep and unpredictable water But now

The coast is full of fish Angry

Neat and well-proportioned palaces and pavilions

Grouped together

Large ships rushing from every corner of the world

This wealthy port is anchored

The Neva River is covered with marble

Tall bridges span the waves

The small island in the middle of the river is obscured

It is covered in a lush green garden

And next to this young capital

The ancient Moscow is getting darker day by day

Like a widowed The Queen Mother stands in front of

the newly crowned Queen

I love you, the city that Peter built

I love your serious and neat face

How majestic is the flow of the Neva River

Marble is paved on both sides of it

I love the pattern of your iron railings

The moonless nights you meditate

p>

The transparent and shining darkness

I often sit alone in the room

I don’t need to light a lamp to write or read

I can clearly see the Streets

While sleeping quietly I saw

How bright the spire of the Admiralty

In the golden sky in the dark night

It’s too late to close the curtain

The dawn is already coming one after another

Let the night only stay for half an hour

I love your cold winter

p>

Your frost and condensed air

How many sleighs run along the Neva River

The girl’s face is more beautiful than the rose

Yet There were the laughter and whispers of a ball

The late-night drinking revel of bachelors

The sound of foaming wine glasses

Peng-style wine flowing blue flame

I love your Ares playground

The heroic drills of young soldiers

Infantry and cavalry lined up in rows

Monotonous There is another kind of magnificence

Heh is flying in the ranks of Kushibi

How many broken victory flags

And the helmets that were pierced in the battle

also brought dazzling glory to the ranks

I love you Russia Military town

When the Queen of the Northern Kingdom brings good news

A prince is born in the palace

Or Russia defeats its enemy

Once again Celebrate her glory

Or the Neva River freezes and bursts

Blue ice pours into the sea

Because I feel the joy of spring

Stand tall Peter's city

Stand still like Russia

One day even the power of nature

will bow to you

Let the waves of Finland never forget

its ancient submission and hostility

Never again stir up futile swords

Disturbing Peter's eternity Dream

But there was a terrible moment

People can still remember it clearly

About this dear reader I will tell you

Describe the following incident

My story is extremely melancholy

Part 1

In the dark sky of Petersburg

The cold autumn wind of November blows

The Neva River surges with roaring waves

It hits the neat stone-paved shore wall

The river was spinning excitedly like a patient

It was churning constantly on her bed

It was already late and dark at this time

Raindrops were pounding on the window rapidly. The wind

swept melancholy and roared and neighed

At this time, I had just returned home from being a guest

There was a young man named Eugen

We are going to call the hero of the story by this name

because I like its tone

and at one time it crossed my pen

Unexplained reasons

We don’t want to delve into his surname

Although this surname may have appeared in a prominent family in the past

Even the historian Klamkin

may have made this family famous in his writing

But now the upper class society and rumors

have long forgotten it. Net

Our protagonist works somewhere

He doesn’t know any dignitaries living in Cologne

He has no desire for his dead ancestors

I didn’t lament the passing years

Now I’m back home Eugen

Throw away my coat, take off my clothes and go to bed

But He can't sleep

There are many things tumbling in his mind

What is he thinking? It turns out that he is planning

How humble and poor he is

He must work hard to expect

A stable life and a little honor

I hope God will be kind and give him more money and wisdom

Reminds me of

There are also rich people who spend a lot of time and money

Those lazy people who are not very smart

How comfortable their lives are

And he is in office The President has only been in power for two years

His thoughts turned to the weather and wind and rain

It had not stopped yet and he was close to the river bank

The waves kept rising and almost washed away

The bridge over the Neva River interrupts traffic

What should he do if he thinks of Banasana?

He will not see her for two or three days

Thinking of this, Eugen heartily deplored

and continued to fantasize like a poet

Can I get married? Why not

Of course this may be very difficult

I am prepared to work day and night

There will always be a way to arrange a home

Make it simple, peaceful and not luxurious

In Where can I place my Banasha

Maybe in a year or two

I will find a job and leave the household affairs to Banasha

And the host

And educate our children

In this way, we live hand in hand

We will never be separated until death

Teach our children and grandchildren to bury us together

He thought about it all night long

He was melancholy and sincerely hoped

The autumn wind would not howl so sadly People

Don’t let the raindrops hit the window

It’s so heartless

But sleep

Finally closed his eyes and looked

p>

The dark and stormy night has gradually faded

Let the bleak day continue to rule

The miserable day

Neva River all night

Resisting the storm as it poured into the sea

But in the end, it was no match for its violence

I have exhausted all my strength in fighting it

Early in the morning, on both sides of the river

Groups of residents gathered to look up at NB327

They watched the splash of water

and the raging waves

But a strong wind blew from the bay

Withstanding the current, she could not move forward

She tossed and turned and roared angrily

She retreated into the submerged river The island of the heart

The weather is even more dangerous at this time

The roaring Neva keeps rising

She is boiling like a pot of boiling water

Like a wild beast that suddenly went crazy

Suddenly rushed towards the city in front of her

Everything gave way to her surroundings

Immediately there was deathly silence and desolation The floodwaters

entered the cellar and climbed over the threshold

The canal also surged up its iron bars

Looking at Petersburg like a legendary mermaid

Half of her body was submerged in the water

He besieged and attacked the evil waves

Climbing into the door and window like a thief

The boat swung the stern and lifted the glass Crash into pieces

The wooden boards of the vendors were wrapped with cloth curtains

The broken wooden eaves of thatched cottages

Miscellaneous items from a small business

All the belongings of poor people

Fragments of bridges destroyed by thunderstorms

And coffins washed out of graves

Everything is floating in the street

The people saw the wrath of God and waited for death

Alas, everything was gone, food, clothing and housing

Where to find

It was a miserable year

Our Tsar is still shining

Ruling Russia, he appears

Melancholy on the balcony

He said that the Tsar cannot rule

He sat down due to the mysterious force of nature

He looked thoughtfully at the dangerous and dangerous disaster area with sad eyes

The past The square has turned into a lake

The big rivers are the former streets

And the palace is like a gloomy island country

In the flood, the tsar only spoke

After saying something, please look at his general

They spread all over the city from east to west, north and south

Some went to the street and some passed through the alleys

Going in and out of the waves without risking one's own safety

Rescuing the wandering soul who was frightened by the flood

The residents who were waiting to be submerged in their homes

At that time in Petersburg In a corner of the square

A new huge building has just been built

On the tall steps there is a pair of stone lions

It looks like a living creature with its teeth and claws flexing

Guarding poor Eugen at the door

His hands were crossed on his chest

He was horribly pale without a hat

Silently Sitting on the back of a stone lion

Unable to move, but this poor man

was not afraid of himself and let the waves splash

how he greedily slapped and splashed on his heels

p>

He did not hear or pay attention

Let the raindrops wet his face

How the roaring wind showed its majesty

And put his The hat blew into the sky

He only

Keep your melancholy eyes

fixed in a distant direction

where the mountain-like waves

seem to rise from the turbulent seabed

Roll up and wash away everything

The storm is roaring there

The debris of the house is floating there

And just around the huge waves, Ha Tiantian

Right next to the bay

A weeping willow and a simple fence

There is a dilapidated hut in the wall where a family lives

Mother and daughter The two of them live with his Banasha

Could his dream be in a dream

Has he seen all this in life?

Is it just an empty dream

p>

Or it’s God’s mockery of us

At this time, he seems to be possessed by a demon

It seems that he has become one with the stone lion

Can’t Down around him

There is nothing but water

And above in the steady sky

Beyond the swirling waves of the river

Turn your back to Eugen and wave with your hands

The boundless distance is firm and solemn

It is a figure riding a giant bronze horse

Part 2

But now the Neva River has lost its temper

The violence and destruction have made her tired

She finally came back and enjoyed it all the way

The situation caused by his own violence

And throwing the captives everywhere

This seems to be the leader of the bandits

Bringing a team of men into the village

They robbed homes ferociously

Killed, burned and looted, cried and resented

Absolutely cursed and scuffled, causing great disaster

The robbers finished everything quickly Retreat

Afraid that the pursuers would return with full loads

Exhausted, they stayed together

Abandoned their looted property

The flood retreated The stone-paved road

has appeared and my Eugen

is filled with worries, hopes and fears

running all the way as if I have lost my soul

Run towards the river that has not yet flattened

It seems to be proud of the victory just now

The roaring waves are still rolling

The water is still full of water There were bubbles

It was like there was a fire burning below

It was like the war horse had just returned to the battlefield

The Neva River was breathing so quickly

Eugen NB327 looked at and saw a boat

As if he had made an unexpected discovery

He chased and shouted while

The ferryman was busy Leisurely

I would rather just have a few copper coins

Get him across the other side of the waves

Fighted with the waves for a long time

Look at that The boat always sank into the waves

A series of waves threatened to capsize

The brave passenger finally reached the other shore

This unfortunate man

ran through all the familiar streets

went to a familiar place and looked around

but no longer recognized the terrible sight.

In front of him, everything was in chaos

Here was a desolation, there was a pile of rags

The houses had changed shape and some were completely tilted. Others were destroyed

Moved by the flood and

It was like corpses were lying on the battlefield

He saw the dead people around him at a glance

For a moment of dizziness, he thought nothing of it

Although the suffering had weakened him

He ran quickly to that place

It was unknown there Destiny is waiting

Like a sealed letter waiting for him to open

Look here as he runs across the outskirts of the city

He is familiar with the area near the bay

p>

What happened to the house

He stopped

He walked around and walked back to the same place

Look around and look carefully

This should be her home

This is a willow tree that used to have a fence

Obviously the flood has swept it away

But he was confused as to where there was a house

He was pacing He was pacing back and forth, thinking again and again

Muttering loudly to himself

But suddenly he slapped his forehead with his hand

He burst out laughing

The curtain of night falls gently over the trembling city

But its inhabitants talk about all the misfortunes that happened during the day

Cannot sleep peacefully for a long time

The light of dawn

Through the tired and pale clouds

The light flowing into the quiet capital

Yesterday's disaster can no longer be found

The traces left behind are covered with purple and red

The ugly image and everything are as orderly as before Carry on

In the middle of the unobstructed street

People still have indifferent expressions

The officials who walked past face to face

also gave up Hidden Taoyuan last night

The brave hawker went to the official office at the Yamen

Without any discouragement, he took over the cellar

and took it over from the hands of the Neva River

And hope to use the neighbors' wallets

to make up for their huge shortfalls

move out one by one from the yard

Finally

The beloved poet of Baron Vastov

has also sung immortal poems

expresses sorrow for the disaster of the Neva

But I am pitiful Eugen

Alas, his fragile and confused nerves

cannot withstand this terrible blow

The roaring wind of the Neva River

And the huge waves are still in his ears

What kind of nightmare is there with the constant roar

Tearing apart his sanity and terrifying thoughts

Hold on to him and he just wanders around in silence

The weeks and months pass by in a blink of an eye

He never comes home to sit down for a while

His Since the secluded cabin

The lease period has expired and the rent has not been paid

A poor poet came to become a tenant

Eugen never came back, not even his clothes.

I don’t want to wander around all day long

The world will soon forget him

At night he sleeps on the dock from the window

The bread he threw was his food

The clothes he was wearing were already shabby

Now they were even more tattered. Some urchins

throwed stones at his back.

More often, the coachman’s whip

hit him because it was obvious

He didn’t know the path at all

He was at a loss. Feeling the storm in his heart

He couldn't hear the noise outside

In this way, he dragged a body

It was neither human nor human to spend the miserable years

Not like a beast or a living thing

Not like a ghost in the underworld

One night

He slept in the Neva River On the pier

Summer is gradually turning into autumn

A cold wind blows and dark waves

Pounce against the smooth steps of the pier

The voice was like a whisper and a low complaint

It was like a wronged person begging the judge

Leaning in front of his closed door

Eugen woke up with a start and the surroundings were extremely dark

The rain was dripping and the wind was blowing very miserably

There was a sentry in the dark distance

Far away from the night fog Shouted to him

Eugen was shocked. The horror in the past appeared again in front of his eyes. He quickly got up and wandered on the street

>

Suddenly he stopped and opened his eyes wide

Quietly scanning the surrounding scene

A look of lost panic appeared on his face

Where was he? In front of me again

The stone pillars of the huge building and a pair of stone lions

It looked like they were alive

Guarding the tall steps

And standing straight in the dark sky

Not moving inside the stone fence

It is the giant riding the bronze horse

Waving to the endless distance with his hand

Eugen couldn't help but tremble in his mind

Some thoughts were terrifyingly clear

He knew that he was there The floods are flooding here

The greedy waves are here

surrounding him and attacking him maliciously

surrounding him with stone lions and squares

And the man who stood firm

With his head of bronze reaching toward the sky

It was this man who built a city on the coast according to his will

/p>

Look how terrifying he is in the darkness

What thoughts are floating on his forehead

What kind of power does he hold?

What kind of flames is burning in that horse

Oh proud horse, where will you run?

Where will your hooves fly

Oh the power of your destiny The master of Russia

Isn’t it just like this, holding the iron rein in one hand

You strangled Russia on the cliff

Made her to raise her front hooves and stand on the high hill

p>

Poor crazy Eugen

Wandered around the feet of the bronze statue

He stared with bewildered eyes

The king who rules half the world

But his eyes suddenly dimmed

He felt suffocated in his chest and he leaned his forehead

against the cold railing

There was a fire in his heart

His blood boiled and he suddenly became depressed

He stood in front of the proud bronze statue

Clenched his teeth and held it Fist

It was like a demon suddenly possessed her

His whole body trembled and he cursed in a low voice

Oh, Jianjia, the miracle you created

Waiting for what I said, he turned around

and ran away quickly because at this time

He seemed to see the majestic emperor

Suddenly he became angry and silently

Turn his face towards Eugen

And as he fled across the square

In the empty square he heard

It was as if there was a thunderclap behind him

As if a fast horse was chasing him

There was a crisp sound of hoofbeats on the stone road

Behind him in the pale moonlight Next

Look at the Bronze Knight riding a fast horse

While waving his hands to the sky

Driving away this poor madman

No matter where he ran that night

He always heard the bronze statue of a horse chasing him

The clear sound of hooves chasing him

From that time on, only Eugen

By chance, he passed by the square

His face showed panic

With a confused look, he would hold his hand

quickly Put it on your chest

As if to caress the wounds there

And take off the old hat

Lower your head and look embarrassed

Sneak around a path

On the seaside

There is a small island for fishermen who return late

Sometimes they park their boats there

While drying the fish nets and burning them

Their simple dinner or

Some officials rowed small boats on Sundays

You can reach the island by swimming here Rest on it

It is so desolate that there is not even a blade of grass

It breeds floods there

It is like playing an old thatched hut

The rush is there by the water

It stays like a bush

Last spring a big boat came

The dilapidated hut Remove it inside

Nothing but at the door

Our madman was discovered

Of course people do it for God's sake

Bury this cold body on the spot as soon as possible

The best
