Jansy,
Try spelling it Tyutchev. I have noticed that the archives' search
engine is more than a little perverse. Often something I know I myself
have posted will refuse to be found. Sometimes you can get it to
cooperate by changing the order of words. It's really very odd.
As to Pushkin and Fet - sorry, the engine refuses all my entreaties.
And yet, (btw, Fet rhymes with yet, also with nyet) I read whatever I
read about Fed/larks/skylarks/nightingales/mockingbirds in the
archives.* Why are you so interested, I wonder.
Carolyn
* ok - the magic word is nightingale - try it and see.
