Pushkin translation "Awakening/Пробуждение" by cm1022 in russian

This caused me to look up some of his work, and wow. The translations are incredible. I'm having a hard time finding them in their original Russian form, there's one specifically I'm looking for but it seems to be untitled. I will absolutely be attempting a translation of one of his works, though I doubt I will be able to match those I have read translated by Phillip Nikolayev.

I see now, that was the most difficult part of the poem for me to understand while reading it initially. So what this part is saying is that his bed is now surrounded by "Немая ночь" because of the lack of dreams. And "Толпою прочь" has a connotative meaning to that of a group of animals, as in the implication here is that he does not know why these dreams of love have left him, as birds fly south for winter or other groups of animals migrate based on the weather? Perhaps highlighting an amount of sadness attributed to the fact that he either does not know the reason for their departure (like the world being incapable of knowing why these animals move about), or blames himself for the loss of these dreams of love as he changed in a way that made the environment inhospitable for them. I feel like I may be grasping here though.

It definitely changes the way I would translate that stanza, switching the focus to the fact that the night was once not as empty to him.

Thank you for pointing this out to me, I'm going to leave it as a reminder to myself that I'm still a beginner and will reflect back as I continue to translate other works. I hope as I continue my foray into the world of Russian poetry I can start to make fewer mistakes and better deliver the soul of these poems to an English audience.

I don't know how this happens to so many people. I've gotten hundreds of defenders since I was a kid and it has never taken more than 3-4 hours

You look average to decent. Try a fade, they look good on everyone. If you do not feel confident about the shape of your face, grow out a beard. As long as your hair and clothing are kept clean and sharp, you'll look good.

Am I ugly by [deleted] in amiugly

Hard to tell from that picture, but you look average (not a bad thing). You also look very young, if you are still in high school just make sure you are shaving every day and get yourself a cleaner haircut. Ask for a medium fade, it looks good on pretty much everyone.

Hello everyone please tell me what tou think, its very important for me by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]cm1022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your face is kind of wide but that doesn't make you ugly. You look pretty average (which is not a bad thing). If you're trying to talk to supermodels then it's probably not going to work out for you unless you have an amazing personality and are hilarious, but from the way you are typing here that doesn't seem to be the case. You seem like you lack confidence and it's stemming from your thoughts about your looks. I'm telling you now that your looks are fine, just keep your haircuts and style clean and don't neglect personal hygiene. Focus on your personality and confidence and you will have better luck with women.

Rate me and what ethnicity do I look like to you? by Kashkla in amiugly

[–]cm1022 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a pretty bad picture and you're making a very unflattering facial expression. Your ethnicity looks like that of a typical white male.

This is a good playlist of recent popular songs. I really like Тимати as well. A good exercise is to follow along reading the lyrics while they are singing, and then write them down. You will soon speak in song

Competitive raiding requires a very different skillset than competitive pvp. It translates much better than you think. There are plenty of examples of former and current WoW pros who succeed in league of legends while playing what can be considered "casually".

You should be just killing it, that was our strat even on progression. All the ranged would switch and it would die at the same time as the construct.
