Часть текста: of a Russian, in connection with this issue of Mr. Ralston’s excellent translation of Krilof’s fables, as they prove that English readers are beginning to feel an interest in the literature of his country, and in the national life and character which they have hitherto only contemplated from a political point о view. And Krilof certainly deserves all the attention thus bestowed upon him. He is the only original fabulist who has appeared since La Fontaine; and though he does not, perhaps, equal the exquisite grace of the inimitable Frenchman, though he has fewer sly strokes of wit, less cunning simplicity in telling a story, he has, on the other hand, more originality of invention. His observant good sense penetrates to the roots of things, and he possesses a genuine kind of phlegmatic humour which betrays the Oriental element in Slavonic nature. In his birth and all the circumstances of his life Krilof was as Russian as possible: he was essentially national in his ways of thinking, feeling, and writing; and it may be maintained without exaggeration that a foreigner who has carefully studied Krilof’s fables will have a better idea of the Russian national character than if he had read through all the travels and essays that attempt to describe it. Russian children learn Krilof by heart as French ones do La Fontaine, without entering into all the wisdom of his teaching, but in later life they return to him with double profit.

Он никогда не будет иметь довольно гордости идти против мнения света; но он не знаком с ложным стыдом. Une âme forte peut le subjuguer facilement; un homme ordinaire mais habile peut se faire suivre par lui [96] Впрочем, благороден до глубины души. Il n’est pas homme à s’élever au dessus du malheur; mais aussi le malheur ne l’abattra-t-il pas facilement [97] . Он подвержен предрассудкам своего века. Детей будет воспитывать хорошо; они его будут любить и уважать. К жене будет слишком слаб. Дай бог ему не слишком умную жену! Il aime à faire croire aux autres qu’il a certaines intrigues; du reste il est assez sobre ce qui regarde les femmes. Il cache mal et sa douleur et sa joie; même je dirais qu’il est plus renfermé en soi-même dans la douleur [98] . Его еще пленяет блеск мундира; впрочем, если будет служить, будет хороший офицер и хороший начальник. Его всегда будут любить. Религия — более внутренняя, нежели наружная; в этом отношении он первой степени. Il y a des hommes, pour lesquels il sent une méfiance involontaire; à d’autres il...
