Vesna, vesna! Kak vozduh chist! Quotes

“Earthly desires forgotten they eschwed
such primitive attractions, and the summons
of spiritual dreams, is lofty dreams, instead
supplanted in them every other purpose;
and their entire being was subjected to
the absolute control of Fantasy,
and in their world the nature of the body
gave way before the nature of the mind..”
― Baratynskij Evgenij Abramovich, Vesna, vesna! Kak vozduh chist!
