Translation:
"Autumn. Our poor garden falls entirely asleep,
Yellowed leaves are drifting on the wind;
Far away on distant valley-bottoms
withering rowan bushes flaunt their bright red berries.
My heart feels both happy and sorrowful,
Silently i warm and hold your hands,
Look into your eyes, silently shed tears,
Can't put into words how much i love you."

"Осень. Обсыпается весь наш бедный сад,
Листья пожелтелые по ветру летят;
Лишь вдали красуются, там на дне долин,
Кисти ярко-красные вянущих рябин.
Весело и горестно сердцу моему,
Молча твои рученьки грею я и жму,
В очи тебе глядючи, молча слёзы лью,
Не умею высказать, как тебя люблю."
- Alexei Nikolajewitsch Tolstoi

"Take of these elements all that is fusible,
melt them all down in a pipkin or crucible,
set them to simmer and take off the scum,
and a cup of coffee is the residuum."

And i learn, whichever state i may be in, therein to be content"

"The stars, like dust, encircle me /
in living mists of light;
And all of space I seem to see /
in one vast burst of sight”
