Mikhail Lermontov Quotes

Rousseau's Confessions has precisely this defect? he read it to his friends.

Mikhail Lermontov

Now suzanne takes you hand. And she leads you to the river. She is wearing rags and feathers. From salvation army counters. And the sun pours down like honey. On our lady of the harbour.
