The 6 June is the birthday of the greatest Russian poet A. S. Pushkin(6.06 1799-29.01 1837). I wouldn't exaggerate, if I said that his name is famous all over Russia!He was mortally wounded during the duel. All the people was mourning the loss of him.After his death some famous people started to hate his wife, but I think it wasn't her fault.
A.S. Pushkin.Here is the poem by A. S. PushkinI loved you.I loved you and my love I think was strongerThan to be quite extinct within me yet.But let it not distress you any longer,I wouldn't have you feel the least regret.I loved you bare of hope and of expressionWith turns of jealousy and shyness sore.I loved you with such purity , such passionAs may God grant you to be loved once more.
Natalya Goncharova, A. S. Pushkin's wife.A>A.S.Pushkin

'm sorry! I failed posting the text of the poem. I have corrected my mistake.
The wondrous moment of our meeting...
I well remember you appear
Before me like a vision fleeting,
A beauty's angel pure and clear.
In hopeless ennui surrounding
The worldly bustle, to my ear
For long your tender voice kept sounding,
For long in dreams came features dear.
Time passed. Unruly storms confounded
Old dreams, and I from year to year
Forgot how tender you had sounded,
Your heavenly features once so dear.
My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet -
Dull fence around, dark vault above -
Devoid of God and uninspired,
Devoid of tears, of fire, of love.
Sleep from my soul began retreating,
And here you once again appear
Before me like a vision fleeting,
A beauty's angel pure and clear.
In ecstasy the heart is beating,
Old joys for it anew revive;
Inspired and God-filled, it is greeting
The fire, and tears, and love alive.
