To-Morrow! <br />Poem in Prose by Ivan Turgenev, translated by Constance Garnett <br />How empty, dull, and useless is almost every day when it is spent ! How few the traces it leaves behind it! How meaningless, how foolish those hours as they coursed by one after another! <br />And yet it is man's wish to exist; he prizes life, he rests hopes on it, on himself, on the future. . . . Oh, what blessings he looks for from the future! <br />But why does he imagine that other coming days will not be like this day he has just lived through? <br />Nay, he does not even imagine it. He likes not to think at all, and he does well. <br />'Ah, to-morrow, to-morrow!' he comforts himself, till 'to-morrow' pitches him into the grave. <br />Well, and once in the grave, thou hast no choice, thou doest no more thinking. <br />May 1879 <br /> <br />Our site: http://www.le-russe.net/ <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LeRusseFr <br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/RusseFr <br />Google+ : https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/102789146910281952636/+LerusseNetFr/posts <br />Russian podcast.
