    Привет Елена!

    I was pleasantly surprised to hear your reading. Thanks for sharing, it's a nice way for me to continue to hear natively spoken Russian. I just wish there was a way to stop the recording without having to restart from the beginning. It would also help if you could post a written version of what you read. 

    Спасибо!

    Вот текст стихотворения, которое я читаю здесь: Не множеством картин старинных мастеров Украсить я всегда желал свою обитель, Чтоб суеверно им дивился посетитель, Внимая важному сужденью знатоков. В простом углу моем, средь медленных трудов, Одной картины я желал быть вечно зритель, Одной: чтоб на меня с холста, как с облаков, Пречистая и наш божественный спаситель - Она с величием, он с разумом в очах - Взирали, кроткие, во славе и в лучах, Одни, без ангелов, под пальмою Сиона. Исполнились мои желания. Творец Тебя мне ниспослал, тебя, моя Мадонна, Чистейшей прелести чистейший образец.

    Thank you for showing us the beauty of the Russian language. I felt you put your heart into this reading. I dub thee the Russian poetess-in-chief of LM. Hearing no objections, the decision stands.

    I found this translation (relating to Raphael's painting): I have never wanted to decorate my dwelling With a multitude of masters, To invoke a religious reverence in my visitors Hanging on the weighty opinions of experts. In my simple corner, among slow labors, I would have liked to be an eternal spectator Of just one painting, of just one; so that the submissive figures of the Virgin and our divine Savior would have gazed at me from this canvas, as if from the clouds: with dignity in hers, with reason in his.

    Я в восторге от чтения твоего, о, дорогая Елана! К тому же Франк дал и английский текст! Спасибо вам, дорогие Леночка и Франк! А как ты читаешь! Дай бог, жить тебе радостно! А что ж ты не прочла упражнение? А еще русский учишь!

    Tout d'abord j'étais un peu surprise, Elena me soumettant une lecture dans le texte d'un poète nommé Pouchkine qui restera à jamais pour moi un des poétes les plus touchants! Et puis j'ai pensé, voilà une anglosaxone d'adoption qui a petit moment tranquille de mélancolie et qui se met à réciter des poémes russes! Un monde sans mélancolie et sans un poème de Pouchkine ressemblerait à un monde où les rossignols se mettraient à roter!
