| Quote | “The poet parted with his unattainable Muse, Nino Chavchavadze, who at this time was a widow of three years, beforehand. Having come to bid farewell he saw, that Nino, Ekaterine and Manana were together as “gorgeous graces sitting at the parapet near the window” […] as if they were the daughters of Zeus and were not afraid of their father’s crown of lightning. “How could these beautiful graces know – thought the young poet, - “that among these terrible clouds, they are the clouds of passion […] The graces rejoiced, met their bard grinning […] This sad parting with Georgian graces is magnificently described in the famous sketch – Farewell graces! – repeated the young officer”. (pg. 32- 33) |
