Examples from texts

In vain the tears, the storms, the self-tortures; in vain the looks in the mirror, the studied examination of plump, sweet features still fresh and inviting.
К чему слезы, ярость, бесплодные сожаления? К чему снова и снова глядеться в зеркало, изучая мягкие женственноокруглые линии еще свежего и привлекательного лица?
