И скучно и грустно, и некому руку подать...

And it's boring and sad, and there is no one to give a hand
In a moment of mental adversity ...
Desires! .. What is the use of wanting in vain and forever? ..
And the years go by - all the best years!

To love ... but who? .. for a while is not worth the trouble,
And it is impossible to love forever.
Will you look into yourself? - there is no trace of the past:
And joy, and torment, and everything there is insignificant ...

What is passion? - because sooner or later their sweet affliction
Will disappear at the word of reason;
And life, as you look around with cold attention -
Such an empty and stupid joke ...

(M. Yu. Lermontov)
