August 4, 2024. WAS READING A RUSSIAN AMERICAN WEBSITE

Accidentally found the website in Russian language "Russian America". Here is the interesting article about an orphan, who came back to Russia and found his mother, but later he was arrested for selling narcotic substances to 12.5 years of jail.

Laurence Olivier's soliloquy of Richard III

[Act I, Scene 1
London. A street.]

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;

... [Act III, Scene 2
London. The palace.]

Why, love forswore me in my mother's womb:
And, for I should not deal in her soft laws,
She did corrupt frail nature with some bribe,
To shrink mine arm up like a wither'd shrub;
To hit [make] an envious mountain on my back,
[Where sits deformity to mock my body;]
To shape my legs of an unequal size;
To disproportion me in every part,
Like to a chaos, or an unlick'd bear-whelp
That carries no impression like the dam.

... [Act I, Scene 1
London. A street.]

Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:

...
[Act III, Scene 2
London. The palace.]

Then, since this earth affords no joy to me,
But to command, to cheque, to o'erbear such
As are of better person than myself,
I'll make my heaven to dream upon the crown,
And, whiles I live, to account this world but hell,
Until this [my] mis-shaped trunk that bears this head
Be round impaled with a glorious crown.
But [And] yet I know not how to get the crown,
For many lives stand between me and home:
And I,—like one lost in a thorny wood,
That rends the thorns and is rent with the thorns,
Seeking a way and straying from the way;
Not knowing how to find the open air,
But toiling desperately to find it out,—
Torment myself to catch the English crown:
And from that torment I will free myself,
Or hew my way out with a bloody axe.
Why, I can smile, and murder whiles I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I'll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall;
[I'll slay more gazers than the basilisk;]
I'll play the orator as well as Nestor,
Deceive more slily than Ulysses could,
And, like a Sinon, take another Troy.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down.

[Exit]

March 2, 2024. Have reread today Russian literature's criticism of 20 century.

I have noticed that started to mix up Russian poet's names. There is also a problem all the world has around got crazy. I gave up reading of literature because I have no time. So, I have started to reread a bit what I had read before. I have read today comments on the Ruthenia website about poet Osip Mandelstam (О. Лекманов, М. Котова, О. Репина, А. Сергеева-Клятис, С. Синельников «Египетская марка» Осипа Мандельштама: пояснения для читателя https://ruthenia.ru/document/550679.html).
This is also good online book of comments on the Ruthenia about «Египетская марка» -- О. Лекманов, М. Котова, О. Репина, А. Сергеева-Клятис, С. Синельников. «Египетская марка» Осипа Мандельштама: пояснения для читателя. https://ruthenia.ru/document/550838.html
