However, my beauty woman dedicated more and more her time to the our Athenian house and to our numerous children.
At some point, my earthly journey was over. It happened almost-that on the site of the antique city, where I came as a tourist
That's what happened after the end of the earthly path.
I met Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Among the roses he watched the flight of the snowflakes. The wind carried them to a flight around the globe. We greeted each other. De Bougainville was so kind as to quote my poem 'Парус' ("The Sail"):
Под ним струя светлей лазури,
Над ним луч солнца золотой...
А он, мятежный, просит бури,
Как будто в бурях есть покой!
("A stream of light azure in the depths,
Ray of the Sun Golden in the heights...
And he, the man of freedom, asks for a storm,
As if in the storms there is a rest!")
I have explained that I was inspired for the writing of this poem by his global cruise and his gallant act in relation to the women - by the ship of his expedition the woman has for the first time made a round-the-world trip.
De Bougainville has invited me to the port to be present at a greeting of the next super-catamaran which has set up the next record of speed during the global cruise under a sail.
Since then I sometimes walks with him for meetings of the super-catamarans.
My hope is - to meet my undine in the following life.
Than to complete my story? Probably, those the words, what I have begun with. Taman - the finest the small town from all seaside cities of Russia. I there slightly haven't died from hunger. Moreover in additives I was wanted to be drowned. But there I have found the happiness.

Первое действие закончилось. Вроде бы, провала нет. Были и аплодисменты, и вызовы исполнителей.
The first action has ended., It seems, there is no failure. There were both applause, and admiration.
В антракте играл оркестр. Было что-то праздничное в настроении публики, толпящейся в буфете, обсуждавшей игру актеров.
An orchestra played In an entr'acte. There was something festive in mood of the public crowding in buffet, discussing acting.
Спектакль подходил к своей вершине. В разговоре с Русаковым, спрашивающим, отчего он, Иванушка, не весел, Бородкин отвечает, что ему почему-то стало грустно.
The performance approached the top. In a conversation with Rusakov asking why he, Ivanushka, isn't cheerful Borodkin answers that to him it became for some reason sad.
Эти выразительные слова стали откровением для публики и произвели на зрителей ошеломляющее впечатление.
