In my post of Feb. 13, 2015, there is a bad
misprint:
In the penultimate (not "fourth") line
of Vospominanie ("The Remembrance," 1828) Pushkin twice repeats
the word gor'ko (bitterly):
i gor'ko zhaluyus', i gor'ko slyozy
l'yu
And I bitterly complain and I bitterly shed tears.
In the fourth line of the poem son (sleep) is
mentioned:
i son, dnevnykh trudov nagrada
and sleep, the reward of diurnal labors.
The characters of The Waltz Invention include the
reporter Son (Trance).
