A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation
He’s blessed, who lives in peace, that’s distant
From the ignorant fobs with calls,
Who can provide his every instance
With dreams, or labors, or recalls;
To whom the fate sends friends in score,
Who hides himself by Savior’s back
From bashful fools, which lull and bore,
And from the impudent ones, which wake.
