Alexander Pushkin

Ruslan and Ludmila

He rides into a vale, espies a castle built on high

‘He rides into a vale, espies a castle built on high’
Ivan Bilibin (Russian, 1876 - 1942)

...Ruslan rides far afield;

The forest wilds, the empty places,

But one habitual thought they yield,

Of Ludmila, her sweet embraces.
