      Once again for my grandfather and grandmother, ninety-eight and ninety-four, who still plant cucumbers and grow flowers and live happily ever after,

      and

      for our good friend Anatoly Studenkov, still as ever left behind in Russia, who does not.

       And in the moonlight’s pallid glamour

       Rides high upon the charging brute

       Head held high ’mid echoing clamour

       The Bronze Horseman in pursuit.

       And all through that long night no matter

       What road the frantic wretch might take

       There would pound with ponderous clatter

       The Bronze Horseman in his wake.

      —Aleksandr Pushkin
