Wasted effort - no, they will not repent
As much they liberal as they vulgar in soul,
Civilization - a fetish for them
And its essence is unreachable at all.
Despite of your kowtows, dear gentlemen,
You will not gain a recognition of Europe:
By their view, You be in permanent
Not educated men, but slaves who swarm on bottom...
Fyodor Tyutchev, May 1867
translated by Anton Dziavitsyn 2014
