“[...]But now, when great reforms are flowering, Even a beadle’s hard to hook: [...] “Today, however, with our hosting We have raised much capital, And while dancing here we’re posting A dowry to you from this hall. Retrograde or true George-Sander, Be exultant anyhow! Governess by dower grander, Spit on the rest and triumph now!” — Fyodor Dostoevsky
[...]But now, when great reforms are flowering,
Even a beadle’s hard to hook:
[...]
“Today, however, with our hosting
We have raised much capital,
And while dancing here we’re posting
A dowry to you from this hall.
Retrograde or true George-Sander,
Be exultant anyhow!
Governess by dower grander,
Spit on the rest and triumph now!
