What can my name mean to you?
It will die like a splash on a distant shore
The sad sound of the waves,
Like the echo of the forest at night.
On this memorial page,
What it leaves behind are heavy traces of death,
Just like some patterns on tombstones,
It records words that people do not understand.
What does it say? Long forgotten
In the fresh harassment and excitement,
To your mind it cannot show
A pure and tender memory.
But on that lonely and desolate day,
You will pronounce my name with depression;
You will say, someone is missing me,
In this world, I still live in your heart...
——"My Name" Pushkin
