And holy shit did I love it! This is probably the only time i've ever seen Robert in a main Protagonist role. Usually he's the main antagonist or a side protagonist. I'm sure i'll find more things I didn't really like about the movie if I watch it more but for a first watch I loved the FUCK OUTOF IT. Plus Robert looked fucking gorgeous in this movie like goddamn hun. So yeah. 10/10 would recommend.

he didn’t finish, only wrote about Poltava

(in second draft) first half of the line has a masculine ending, therefore a nice stopping point. Some of the endings are dactylic, and the end of the lines are always feminine

Actually, Sumarokov's position was was that of rationalist psychologism in the spirit of John Locke. His poetic objective was to represent the various emotional states of normal human beings. Accordingly, he saw Lomonosov's pursuit of the exalted, the heroic, and the sublime as a violation of the natural, of reason, and of vraisemblance.

His syllabic alexandrines, with a caesura after the seventh or fifth syllable and feminine-rhyme couplets, read smoothly. His rhymes are correct, often ingenious.

The first, "To My Reason", and the seventh "On Education", contain the kernel of Kantemir's Enlightened moral and social views. Contemptuous of all class or other prejudices, Kantemir judges a man's worth solely by his good works and service to society. He firmly believes that education helps a man to be a better human being and to take better care of his public and private affairs. He asserts that impressionable childhood and and adolescence are best suited to implanting humane ideas and civilized habits in men, as well as that well-tempered love, careful attention to a child's progress, proper understanding of a young mind and soul, and a willingness to praise are more effective than stern rules or severe discipline.
