For those, who like me failed to listen to the skylark's song on the soundboard to which Victor had directed us, you can hear it here: http://www.ecosystema.ru/08nature/birds/115.php

one little correction: "my dear", in the oft-misquoted Bogdanovich's line as rendered by me in the previous posting, should be "darling" (dushen'ka)

one little addition: When in 1830 Pushkin visited mad Batyushkov in Moscow, B. didn't recognize him (even after Pushkin had named himself). By the way, Pushkin was known to Batyushkov as Sverchok (cricket), Pushkin's nick-name in the Arzamas Society.
